To check my two dimensional CFD calculation I am looking for reference data on the drag coefficient of an open wedge. The geometry is shown below, together with the flow direction.
I have found several sources for drag coefficient data of closed wedges (shown below), but I'm not sure closed wedges are similar enough to open wedges to use that data.
So my question is:
What is the drag coefficient of a two dimensional open wedge placed in the flow as shown in the first image?
this may not be easy, but it will have been done - unfortunately I don't have a reference to hand
That's the problem exactly. I'm sure there must be something on it but no I failed to find any references as well. I only found something in the Fluid Dynamic Drag book of Hoerner on the open wedge shown in the first image, but the flow coming from the right. $\endgroup$
