Question: ( 3 0 points ) The theoretical pressure distribution over the surface of a cylinder in an inviscid, incompressible flow is given in Figure 1

(30 points) The theoretical pressure distribution over the surface of a cylinder in an inviscid, incompressible flow is given in Figure 1. In contrast, several real pressure distributions based on experimental measurements for different Reynolds numbers are also shown in Figure 1, and are compared with the theoretical inviscid flow results.
Figure 1: Theory and experimental data
For the subcritical curve, approximate the coefficient of pressure Cp such that Cp follows the inviscid theory result (flow over a cylinder) from 0 to 60, as well as from 300 to 360. Between 60 and 300,Cp takes the value of the inviscid theory result at =60. Calculate the section drag coefficient for the subcritical case.
