Question

A thin wing with a parabolic chord distribution is flying at speed U∞ and zero angle of attack, as
shown below. The fluid has density ρ and viscosity μ. Assume that the flow starts laminar at the
leading edge but then transitions to tubulent at xcrit = 0.25a.

a) Sketch the regions of laminar and turbulent flow over the wing. Calculate and label relevant
distances.
b) Determine the drag force, D, and the drag coefficient, CD ≡ D/((1/2) ρU2S), where S is the
planform area of the wing. Express your drag coefficient answer in terms of the Reynolds
number based on a, Rea ≡ (Ua)/nu.
