What is the Drag Coefficient of a Car?
1 Answers
The drag coefficient of a car is a function of the Reynolds number, and the air resistance of the car is directly proportional to the drag coefficient. This means that the larger the drag coefficient, the greater the resistance the car experiences while driving. The magnitude of air resistance a car encounters during driving is related to many factors, such as exterior design and chassis design. The lower the car's chassis, the smaller the air resistance during driving. Additionally, the flatter the car's chassis, the less resistance it will experience. Car owners can observe the chassis of supercars; these vehicles have their chassis completely sealed with protective panels. The chassis of supercars is extremely flat and very low.
