July 20, 2020, 14:16	What does the Cp plot of an airfoil signify	#1
Nishanth New Member Join Date: May 2020 Posts: 16 Rep Power: 6	I've read a few papers on airfoil and wing analysis and Cp plot of the wing recur a lot. What does the Cp plot signify--I know that it is the distribution of pressure over the airfoil. 1) If I have a Cp plot of an airfoil what all can I determine from it? 2) Can I determine where exactly the flow separates if I have the Cp plot? if "yes", how?
