Final Report Ddder

The document discusses simulating airfoil flow using SolidWorks. It describes how to draw an airfoil, set up a flow simulation, run the simulation at different angles of attack and roughness values, and analyze the results. Graphs show relationships between lift, drag, angle of attack, and roughness. The simulation calculates pressure, velocity, forces and lift/drag coefficients to evaluate airfoil performance under various conditions.

Drawing the airfoil:
• Airfoil Data:
Chord line length= 200cm.
Spam length=1000 cm.
• STEPS OF DRAWING:
1-choose curve from SKETCH after selecting plane and browsing airfoil from
coordinates that we have from project data.
2-Close the shape by selecting arc from the drawing tools.
3-Convert entities.
4-Insert new plane from FEATURES, references plane.
5- copy curve to the inserted plane.
6-delete any extra curves.
7-Spam 1 meters By Boss extrude

SAVE to start flow simulation.

Flow simulation of airfoil:
1-from flow simulation choose wizard, and name the project.

2-choose external flow and let air be the external fluid on the airfoil .

3- Input data on screen like VELOCITY in X- direction and GRAVITY in

4
y- direction (-9.81) So, it’s direction opposite to the lift force.

Finish project, preparing for some calculations:


• insert Boundary condition: ( change roughness to default = 279.4, from real
wall).
• Mesh = 5 (for Simple Calculations)
• From Goals check on ( pressure , velocity in X-direction , Force in Y-direction
,Force in X- direction (drag force)).
• From Goals, insert equation : insert equations of cl(goal equation1) &cd (goal
equation2) & cl/cd . From equations above and choose no unit.

DATA:

Zero angle of attack.

(P&V is opposite to each other). Here we can see the stagnation
pressure in front of the plane (at nose) is the most pressure ever that
happens on the wing surface then it’s scattered backwards first, at this
moment exactly we are on the way to a have shock wave as we're close to
high speed.

Results of velocity vector plot as we see that “color represent the vary of
velocity magnitude above &below along the surface “. The more positive
derivative in velocity could help us in lift process more easier & vice versa
when landing, it all depends on pressure as we see in the equation & plot
below.

The
various of colors here represents positive derivative of changing pressure
magnitude so in the picture we can see it goes more pressure values.

And from the equation above that calculate forces we can calculate
pressure also by dividing Area. P = ½ rho *v^2. (Calculate pressure at any
point). But for dynamic pressure velocity is inversely proportional to
pressure. The point that has maximum thickness the point that minimum
pressure happens as so on. That represents dynamic pressure.

As we changed angle of attack too from convert entities,


move entities, rotate entities [-45, -30,-15,-5,0,5,15,30,45].

8
Angle of attack = 45

9
Angle of attack =-45.

10
Angle of attack= 30

11
Angle of attack=-30

12
Angle of attack= 15

Angle of attack =-15


13
We changed roughness from boundary conditions
[50,100,200,300,500].

RR =50

RR=100

14
RR=200

RR=300
15
RR=500

Discussing the graphs:

Figure (1)

This graph is between the CL/CD and AOA.

20
Figure (2)

Between the CL & CD

The drag coefficients is not influenced by the sign of the AOA as we have seen. But
lift coefficient does. Their forces are normal to each other so, it will always be 90 deg
in between so, cos (θ) that confirm the drag is in the 1st &4th quarters always
positive, lift is in 1st positive & 2nd negative quarters.

Figure (3)

Changing AOA (y axis) & cd (drag co-efficient (x axis))

21
As we see the parabolic function that results confirm the direct proportional
relationship between AOA and drag force (drag co-efficient) so it will be more
difficult to fly as the AOA increases, even positive or negative.

Figure (4)

Changing AOA with cl (lift co-efficient).


Cubic function is shown. The lift co-efficient is increasing as we change AOA So,
pressure increases with the same Area on both surfaces. Then, we care about SHOCK
WAVE.

22
Figure (5)

between CD and relative roughness.

this graph describes the relation between the relative roughness and the
CD where, you can notice that by increasing the values of the relative
roughness the drag coefficient increases as the drag force increases due to
friction of air flow on the air foil so, it’s a direct relationship.
