Drag coefficient — In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: cd, cx or cw) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment such as air or water. It is used in the drag equation,… … Wikipedia
Drag reducing agent — A drag reducing agent, also called a flow improver, is a long chain polymer chemical that is used in crude oil, refined products or non potable water pipelines. It is injected in small amounts (parts per million) and is used to reduce the… … Wikipedia
drag — i. That component of aerodynamic forces acting on the wing or the airfoil section, which is parallel and opposite to the relative airflow. The sources of drag are the pressure distribution patterns over the airfoil, called induced drag; the skin… … Aviation dictionary
