MCEN 5021: Replicate Reference Image

About this project

This project aims to replicate Hele-Shaw flow over a NACA 64A015 airfoil at a 13° angle of attack. Inspired by an image found in “An Album of Fluid Motion,” the project aimed to replicate the visual characteristics of the reference image using SimScale’s computational fluid dynamics package. A comparison of the simulation results with the reference image shows a close resemblance. Reference Image from "An Album of Fluid Motion" by Milton Van Dyke, page 25.
