Can solar wind viscous drag account for CME deceleration?
, 2012 The forces acting on solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) in the interplanetary medium have been evaluated so far in terms of an empirical drag coefficient $C_{\rm D} \sim 1$ that quantifies the role of the aerodynamic drag experienced by a typical CME ...

The Experimentally and Numerically Determination Of The Drag Coefficient Of A Bus Model
International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies, 2018 In this study, the drag coefficient of a 1/33 scaled bus model were determined by experimentally in wind tunnel and numerically in Fluent®. The tests were performed at 6 different free flow rates and between the range of 382 866- 792 900 Reynolds numbers
