Computational Investigation of Flow Separation over Naca 23024 Airfoil at 6 Million Free Stream Reynolds Number

Abstract

The following work is the CFD analysis of NACA 23024 airfoil. The analysis is carried out for a free stream Reynolds number of 3 million for which the wind tunnel results are available. The CFD analysis is carried out using Ansys Fluent Solver. The analysis is carried out using Spalart Allmaras turbulence model, K-omega SST turbulence model with flow transition capabilities, Standard K-Epsilon Turbulence model and K-omega SST turbulence model. The analysis results are then compared with the wind tunnel results and the performance of the turbulence models are discussed.
