Abstract |
|
Airfoil is the cross section of the wing, which produces the lift force due to pressure difference between upper and lower surface of the airfoil, also the airfoil produces some amount of drag force, which resist the forward motion of the aircraft. The main aim of this paper is to formulate a design to reduce the drag force as well as to increase the aerodynamic efficiency of the airfoil. Flow simulation on NACA 2412 airfoil was considered as reference model for comparing with new airfoil designs from various fish shapes by the value of CL, CD and aerodynamic efficiency .i.e. CL/CD ratio. For increasing aerodynamic efficiency, new airfoil shapes were created from world’s fastest top fishes and analyzed by using CATIA and ANSYS software respectively. The CL, CD, CL/CD ratio and power required calculation were calculated for both NACA 2412 and new airfoil shapes. |
