ABSTRACT

A projected frontal area or planform area of an object b span or depth of a flat plate (into the page when viewed from the edge) CD drag coefficient: CD = 2FD /VA D height (2-dimensional) or diameter (axisymmetric) of a block or other object in the flow FD drag force FL lift force H height of computational domain L length of the block in the flow direction R radial extent of computational domain ReD Reynolds number based on length D: ReD = VD/ (other Reynolds numbers defined similarly) Rex Reynolds number based on axial distance x: Rex = Vx/ (other Reynolds numbers defined similarly) u streamwise component of velocity at some location inside the boundary layer (in x-direction) V or U freestream velocity x flow direction y coordinate normal to flow direction, usually normal to a wall  coefficient of dynamic viscosity (also called simply the viscosity)  coefficient of kinematic viscosity (for water,   1.0  10-6 m2/s at room temperature)  density of the fluid (for water,   998 kg/m3 at room temperature)
