Abstract
Most of the aircraft manufacturing today need to test their performances beforecan be commercials it, such as passengers aircraft, fighter jet, cargo aircraft, and manymore. This wing needs to have a smooth surface, lightweight, and the aerodynamics. In addition, the wings need the type of shape of the airfoil that suitable to use in specificcondition. This project needs to fabricate this airfoil and testing it in the water tunnel to see their performances. The project entitled, Study on the Flow Separation on the Airfoil,is project related to see the location of flow separation on the airfoil on three differencetype of airfoil that fabricated the shape using the Perspex in the water tunnel. Moreover, this separation points on the airfoil need to predicted by using the CFD software (FLUENT). It is based on the theory, discussed with supervisor and the design and testing by the student for the purpose of this project. The area of project applies the
aerodynamics and fluid mechanics application of the aircraft. The airfoil that uses in thisproject are; (1) NACA 65(1)-212, (2) SELIG S8055, and (3) BOEING VERTOL V43012 that attach with one strut for all airfoil. The experiment on all the airfoil needs to capturethe images on the flow separation using PIV Camera System. Therefore, the objectivedoing this project is to find the separation point and flow patterns using the closed loopwater tunnel and simulation. As a results, all the knowledge in aerodynamic application that studies for past three year’s can be apply in this project for more understanding in real industry application.
