Missing info

This is not really useful without telling the user what correlation is used for the skin friction coefficient ( flat plate, internal flow, etc.) and it is also not user friendly to leave us to guess (or do our own hand calculation to check in which case what is the point of having an app, really) whether the reported wall spacing is the physical distance from the wall or the mesh cell thickness. I have not opened this app in a long while. I don’t remember it being this way before, although maybe it was.
