Formula and methodology
Formula: Drag force Fd=1/2×fluid density×drag coefficient×area×speed².
The quadratic speed relationship is shown with the coefficient and reference area as explicit model inputs.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Fluid density — kg/m³; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Drag coefficient — minimum 0; maximum 1000
- Reference area — m²; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Speed — m/s; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Fluid density | 1.225 |
| Drag coefficient | 0.3 |
| Reference area | 2 |
| Speed | 20 |
Drag force = 147 N.
Assumptions and limits
- Density, coefficient, area, and speed are nonnegative SI quantities.
- The coefficient is constant over the selected speed and flow regime.
- Flow separation, turbulence changes, lift, wind, vehicle geometry, and structural loads are not modeled.
