Consider the flow at M=2 and zero incidence over the symmetric diamond shape airfoil (shown in figure below) using shock-expansion theory. (Note: The lift is zero for a symmetric airfoil at zero incidence but the drag is not zero)
a. Calculate the drag coefficient
b. Calculate Pitot pressure reading if such a probe is mounted to side 3 and facing the flow (and parallel to the surface) given that the freestream static pressure, P1, is 1 bar.
