March 9, 2015, 08:41	Coefficient of lift on a tidal turbine blade	#1
stokesy New Member Join Date: Feb 2015 Posts: 4 Rep Power: 11	Hi I'm struggling to find the coefficient of lift on the airfoil im simulating in underwater conditions. The only change I can see to make is the density of water surrounding the airfoil but when changing this, this makes the output coefficient off by this factor. Is this correct? I can't believe it is, and struggling for accurate results. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
