Abstract

Airfoil design is a significant facet of aerodynamics. In this paper, optimise aerodynamic model for the NACA0012 airfoil shape has been studied based the wind tunnel experiment and numerical simulation using ANSYS. The velocity and pressure distribution around the NACA0012 airfoil has found by tests results which are compared with numerical simulation. Based on this experiment result, optimisations shape of the airfoil has been investigated.
