DragCoef_SemiTruck
Function DragCoef_SemiTruck returns the drag coefficient for a typical semi-trailer truck without fairing. Fairings may reduce the drag coefficient by 20%
Inputs
Re - Reynolds number. (Any value as the drag coefficient is a constant)
Outputs
DragCoef_SemiTruck - drag coefficient [-]
