Note: In the below video (Plot Pressure Contours), please note that the cursor disappears accidentally at the 44 second mark and returns at the 3 minute mark. At 1 minute 17 seconds, "here" refers to the bottom-middle of the region near the plate. It is later drawn at the 1 minute 28 second mark. At 2 minute 40 seconds, "here" refers to the left most face, known as the inlet face, of the region.

Skin Friction Coefficient

Here, the skin friction coefficient will be plotted as a function of distance along the plate.
