![]() In aerodynamics, Airfoil design is a major facet. However, CFD results are still not completely reliable and wind tunnels are used to verify CFD predictions. The advance in computational fluid dynamics modeling on a high speed digital computer has reduced the demand for wind tunnel testing. The test object often called a wind tunnel model, is instrumented with suitable sensors to measure aerodynamic forces, pressure distribution, or other aerodynamics-related characteristics. Air is then moving past the object by a powerful fan system or other means. A wind tunnel consists of a tubular passage with the object under test mounted in the middle. A wind tunnel is a machine which used in aerodynamic research to study the effects of air moving on solid objects. This lift and drag force are obtained with the help of wind tunnel. The drag force mainly depends upon the body surface and fluid which is flows over it. Lift is generated by aerofoil primarily depends upon surface area and angle of attack. The force which acts in perpendicular to the direction of motion is called as lift force, and the force which is parallel to the direction of motion is called as drag force. This aerodynamic force can be resolved into two components known as lift and drag. When an airfoil body passing through any fluid it produces an aerodynamic force which is due to pressure distribution over the body surface and shear stress distribution over the body surface. An airfoil is a streamlined body found in airplanes, propellers, turbines and many other applications. A class of body exists, for which the component of resultant force normal to the direction of motion is many times greater than the component resisting the motion It is fact of common experience that a body in motion through a fluid experiences a resultant force mainly a resistance to a motion. Keywords Flow separation, angle of attack, CFD, coefficient of lift and coefficient of drag, pressure coefficient etc. Analysis on the airfoil profile is carried out to find the values of CD and CL at different values of angle of attack.The result shown by CFD has closely agreed with experiment result, thus CFD is a mature tool to predict the performance of test section at any angle of attack. Parisutham Institute of Technology and Science, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India.Ībstract In this paper, Flow pattern of airfoil over two- dimensional subsonic flow at a various angle of attacks operating at Reynoldss number is obtained. In this research, the effect of pressure distribution was investigated on the blade concerning two different velocity 10 m/s and 12 m/s, various angles of attack(AOA), and Square dimples further it is found that pressure distribution drastically varies over blade due to dimples and also spanwise flow distribution.Analysis of Airfoil Flow Pattern using CFD The main aim of the investigation primarily focuses on the pressure distribution of NACA 4412 airfoil at a low Reynolds number. ![]() Dimples are formed throughout the wing which is located at 25% of the Chord from the leading edge of the blade. Pressure measurement is done using a multi-tube manometer and pitot-static tube. The 26 pressure port is made at different x/c locations on the upper and lower surface of the blade and the 2D effect is considered in this study. Pressure distributions are investigated on the NACA4412 airfoil blade in the Low-speed suction type subsonic wind tunnel. The ultimate objectives of the work are to investigate the pressure distributions of the airfoil profile blade under various operating conditions with and without Square dimples. ![]() A wind tunnel is an excellent tool used in aerodynamics analysis to investigate the flow over the solid body.
