Structural Aerodynamics

About this project

The purpose of this project is to investigate the behavior of drag and lift, and look at velocity and pressure distribution across the wing for different angles of attack (which will be simulated without changing the geometry). We will work with an angle of 3 degrees, and 20 degrees for a plane travelling at 20 m/s. In this tutorial, you will be doing a full fledged flow simulation of the aerodynamics of a model airplane. The focus of this simulation is to investigate the performance of the airplane - in particular the wing - by looking at drag and lift forces at different angles of attack.
