As can be seen, the velocity of the upper airfoil is faster than the velocity on the lower airfoil.

On the leading edge, we see a stagnation point where the velocity of the flow is nearly zero. The fluid accelerates on the upper surface as can be seen from the change in colors of the vectors.

Pressure Coefficient is a dimensionless parameter defined by the equation
where  where
is the static pressure,
is the reference pressure, and 
is the reference dynamic pressure defined by
. The reference pressure, density, and velocity are defined in the Reference Values panel in Step 5. Please refer to FLUENT's help for more information. Go to Help > User's Guide Index for help.
