## Project Description This project involves performing a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of a rocket fin using SimScale. The objective is to investigate the aerodynamic behavior of the fin by simulating airflow around it under steady-state conditions. The simulation includes creating an external flow domain, applying appropriate boundary conditions, generating a high-quality computational mesh, and analyzing the resulting pressure and velocity distributions. The CFD analysis is used to visualize streamlines, identify wake formation, and evaluate aerodynamic characteristics such as drag. The results help in understanding how the fin interacts with the surrounding airflow and how its geometry influences aerodynamic performance and stability. Based on the simulation results, engineering observations are made, and potential design improvements are discussed to reduce drag and improve overall aerodynamic efficiency. This project also demonstrates the importance of mesh quality, boundary conditions, and engineering assumptions in obtaining accurate CFD results for aerospace applications.
