4415 Airfoil Model
Wind Tunnel Model with Airfoil center of mass located in the center of tunnel.
Boundary Conditions are set with an Inlet Velocity, outlet pressure, ideal walls, and real walls. The Inlet velocity set one side of the internal face of tunnel in the x-axis direction at 22 m/s, and the outlet pressure is set on the opposite face of the tunnel at an environmental pressure of 100000 psi. The Inside wall are set to ideal wall condition to neglect friction and the surface of the airfoil was set to real wall to obverse surface pressures.

Airfoil Flow Simulation

A Computational Flow Dynamics (CFD) Analysis of a standard airfoil 4415 testing the different angles of attack. Results from the simulation will then be compared to wind tunnel test.
