What is the coefficient of fluid resistance for water?

[Esran]

I'm just looking for the accepted value of the coefficient of fluid resistance for water in order to compare it to some experimental values I obtained. However, I've done several Internet searches and have come out empty handed.

Do any of you know or have access to the accepted value?

Oh yes, the object in question is a sphere.

I think you're looking for the drag coefficient. For a sphere, an accepted value is about 0.47, but this value does depend on your flow characteristics (turbulent or laminar, Newtonian or non Newtonian, etc).

For more values, try searching for drag coefficient.
