Skin-friction Coefficient

The Skin-Friction Coefficient is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics that represents the ratio of wall shear stress to the dynamic pressure of the free stream, serving as a measure of the tangential resistive force per unit area exerted by a viscous fluid on a solid boundary within a boundary layer.
