Question

Consider a circular cylinder in a hypersonic flow, with its axis
perpendicular to the flow. Let φ be the angle measured between radii
drawn to the leading edge (the stagnation point) and to any arbitrary point
on the cylinder. The pressure coefficient distribution along the cylindrical
surface is given by Cp = 2 cos2 φ for 0φπ/2 and 3π/2 ≤ φ ≤ 2π
and Cp = 0 for π/2 ≤ φ ≤ 3π/2. Calculate the drag coefficient for the
cylinder, based on projected frontal area of the cylinder.
