CFD Analysis Of An RC Aircraft Wing
Abstract
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of an aircraft plays a vital role in providing an ideal design of the
aircraft. 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. A designed wing geometry was analyzed and modified; further
analysis was carried out on the modified wing for a comparative study. Thus giving a clear comparative view of how minute
changes affect the flow characteristics of the aircraft. For this very purpose, a virtual wind tunnel model was created and CFD
analysis was carried out at various angle of attacks for each wing separately. The lift, drag, stall angle and lift-to-drag ratio of
each wing were determined and the comparative study of these showed how minute changes to the wing improves its overall
flow characteristics.
