UNSTEADY AERODYNAMICS OF CAMBERED AIRFOILS AT LOW REYNOLDS NUMBER

Tawfiq Ahmed and Dilek Funda Kurtulus

Numerical simulations of cambered airfoils (NACA 1412, NACA 2412, NACA 3412) at Re = 1000 are investigated in the current study to understand the camber effect on unsteady aerodynamic behavior at low Reynolds number. The numerical simulations are performed at angles of attack ranging from 0 to 10. The aerodynamic coefficients and flow fields are analyzed in detail.
