Consider an airfoil in a Mach 0.5 freestream. At a given point on theairfoil, the local Mach number is 0.86. calculate the pressure coefficient at that point. [Note: In an incompressible flow, the pressure coefficient at any point in the flow is a unique function of the local velocity at that point and the freestream velocity. In the present problem, we see that Mach number is the relevant property for a compressible flow—not velocity. The pressure coefficient for an inviscid compressible flow is a unique function of the local Mach number and the freestream Mach number.]

Consider an airfoil in a Mach 0.5 freestream. At a given point on the
airfoil, the local Mach number is 0.86. calculate the pressure coefficient at that point.
[Note: In an incompressible flow, the pressure coefficient at any point in the flow is a unique function of the local velocity at that point and the freestream velocity. In the present problem, we see that Mach number is the relevant property for a compressible flow—not velocity. The pressure coefficient for an inviscid compressible flow is a unique function of the local Mach number and the freestream Mach number.]
