CFD Analysis of a 3d Aerofoil using Ansys Fluent

Abstract: Aerofoils finds a wide application in the field of Aviation and Automobile industry and each application demands a different purpose to be served. Cargo planes required high lift at low speed, while racing cars requires a down force to attain greater speeds. Aerofoil design is important field which requires an extensive experimental work and simulations. In this paper an Aerofoil was analysed using CFD to find out the parameters such as Lift, Drag, Pressure and velocity distribution around it. The simulation was carried out using ANSYS FLUENT and the pressure and velocity distribution was measured on thirteen strategic points over the surface of aerofoil. Keywords: Aerofoil, CFD, Lift, Drag, ANSYS FLUENT.
