Report Title: Simulation of Inviscid Flow Past 2D Airfoil: General Remarks

This report summarizes a simulation of inviscid flow past a 2D airfoil at different angles of attack. The numerical method used a first-order steady solver with grid resolution refined until results converged. Key results included: plots of pressure distribution and streamlines showing changes to the flow field for various angles of attack, with comments on how the stagnation point moved; and a plot of lift force increasing with angle of attack. The summary discusses resolving any issues found and potential improvements if more time was available.

General Remarks

Using screen snapshots is unacceptable!I will mark accordingly.


Make nice graphs and plots. Export your data, and use plotting software to plot them (Excel,
Matlab, or whatever you like). Clear legends and labels are a must.
Use proper technical terms.
Make the report engaging and interesting (the rule is: tell me something I dont know)
Text must be concise and to the point (If you feel a sentence is just blab bla bla, remove it.
Better a short clear report, then a long, pointless one.).

1 Description of the problem


What physical problem are you simulating? What are the main physical parameters?

2 Numerical Method
Describe which solver options you are using (first-order?Steady?Other?) and typical numerical
parameters (e.g. time step size, grid size, etc.)
The most important parameter in every steady simulation is the ratio of the grid mesh size to the
characteristic size of the object. If this parameter is sufficiently small (how small? only a convergence
study can tell you this), then the simulation can be said well-resolved.
For unsteady simulations, you want the time-step to be small in comparison to the typical time scale of
variation of the flow.

3 Results
3.1 Pressure distribution & streamlines
We want to examine changes in the flow field for different angles of attack (pick a few angles from 0 to
20 degrees).
For each angle:
Plot the pressure distribution around the airfoil using iso-contours of pressure.
Plot the pressure at the airfoils surface.
Plot flow streamlines.
Comment on the position of the front stagnation point (point of maximum pressure and diverging
streamlines) for the angles of attack you selected.

3.2 Lift force


Plot the lift force as a function of the angle of attack.

4 Summary & Discussion


Summarize the main results. Be concise and to the point.
Discuss outstanding issues, such as problems you have found in the simulation, and how you would

plan to tackle these issues if you had more time.
