% Skin friction coefficient using a variety of models.
The default is Prandtl-Schlichting. The default standard atmosphere
is at 1000 m. 'miller' or 'compressible' should be used for
supersonic flow.
It uses 5e5 for Reynold's number at low speeds so that there isn't a
low-speed singularity.
Type CDSkinFriction for a demo of Prandtl-Schlichting and the
compressible models.
