Project Summary

Aerodynamic problems in general are often difficult to solve by analytical method. Experimental or numerical simulation can be used to analyze the computational models. However, due to the large expenses required in the experimental method, the numerical method is more preferred. As Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of an aircraft plays a vital role in providing an ideal design of the aircraft. The evaluation of how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) package can be incorporated into a conceptual design method. The repeatability of the CFD solution as well as the accuracy of the calculated aerodynamic coefficients will be implemented. The project is focused on wing design specifically and how the qualitative and quantitative characterization of the wing provides useful information to verify the wing selection and design prior to the time consuming fabrication of aircraft. Minute changes affecting flow characteristics of aircraft, comparison for CFD analysis carried out at various angles of attack for various wing geometries and determination of lift, drag, stall angle and lift-to drag ratio wing is examined in this project
