DragForce_RoundedNoseBeam
Function DragCoef_RoundedNoseBeam(W\H) the drag coefficient for a square beam (with sharp edges) of infinite length in crossflow given Reynold's number.
Inputs
W\H - ratio of dimension in the flow direction to the dimension perpendicular to the flow
Outputs
DragCoef_RoundedNoseBeam - drag coefficient [-]
