CDSkinFriction:

Path: ACPro/ACProAerodynamics

% Skin friction coefficient using a variety of models.

   The default is Prandtl-Schlichting. The default standard atmosphere
   is at 1000 m. 'miller' or 'compressible' should be used for
   supersonic flow.

   It uses 5e5 for Reynold's number at low speeds so that there isn't a
   low-speed singularity.

   Type CDSkinFriction for a demo of Prandtl-Schlichting and the
   compressible models.
