Project Summary

Our project is based on aerofoil mechanism in which we will first do analysis and simulation on different cad models of an aeroplane wing, designed on the basis of aerodynamics theories. For this purpose, we have got some software like Ansys version which provide pretty good analysis tools at different situations. We will first create 3D model of the aeroplane wing and then using different boundary conditions, will analyse the properties and characteristics of the designed model at different scenarios. We will be doing simulation using meshing techniques and CFD analysis, which will give us the detailed overview of the minor elemental level. After completing the simulation and analysis, we are looking forward to making a prototype of our model and analyse it practically in a wind tunnel. We will be measuring lift and drag coefficients of the different designs at different Reynolds number over a range from laminar to turbulent flow.

Project Objectives

• Be familiar with the basis of Computational theory for two-dimensional flow analysis.
• Understand the fundamentals of external flow over an airfoil through the use of the Open source CFD software.
• Be able to construct a correct solid model using the SolidWorks CAD and perform an accurate CFD analysis.
• Know how to interpret and evaluate CFD solution quality including verifying analytically the drag coefficient of an airfoil immersed in a uniform fluid stream.
• Learn to apply the appropriate ambient and boundary conditions and decide on the suitable size for the computational domain.
• After completing the simulation and analysis, we are looking forward to making a prototype of our model and analyse it practically in a wind tunnel.
• We will be measuring lift and drag coefficients of the different designs at different Reynolds number over a range from laminar to turbulent flow.

Benefits of the Project

• We are  working on how to maximize the lift of an aeroplane at lower fuel consumption rates through a range of laminar and turbulent flow.
• We are hoping that this project will bring some useful addition to the area of aerodynamics through our hard work and dedication.
• We will try our best to suggest how to improve the quality and reduce the cost of the specially designed aeroplane wings through our research work.
• This research work will also open doors for new researchers as well.
