CFD ANALYSIS OF BOEING-737 3D AEROFOIL AND ADVERSE YAW ON THE AEROFOIL

Abstract

In this work, the drag and lift forces along with adverse yaw is obtained using CFD which can also be determined experimentally. The analysis is done on test aerofoil Boeing-737 root section aerofoil. The experimental setup data is taken from Boeing-737 official website. Here the mentioned forces and results are obtained solely by the use of computational fluid dynamics in ANSYS FLUENT (version 17.0). The flow was modelled as incompressible fluid air. The drawing and meshing is done in ANSYS Workbench 17.0. The outcome of this investigation was shown and computed by using ANSYS Workbench 17.0. Finally, the effect of lift and drag forces was found out for different angles of attack from-4 o to 22 o and also the values of adverse yaw and stall angle are found out for the test aerofoil. The whole analysis is solely based on the principle of finite element method and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
