al., A Comparative CFD analysis of NACA 0012 and NACA 4412 airfoils, they had investigated that 70 angle of attack is the optimum value for NACA 0012 and 60 angle of attack is the optimum value for NACA 4412. ANSYS Mechanical finite element analysis software is used to simulate computer models of structures, electronics, or machine components for analyzing strength, toughness, elasticity, temperature distribution, electromagnetism, fluid flow, turbulence, industrial machineries, explicit dynamics and other attributes. ANSYS is vast computational software that enables researchers to analyze the problems related to different engineering sectors. Computational fluid dynamics provides a qualitative and sometimes even quantitative prediction of fluid flow by means of mathematical modeling, numerical method and software tools. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to analyze and solve problems that involve fluid flows. The flow of air over the aerofoils is the most important thing that has to be considered during designing an aircraft, missile, sport vehicles or any other aerodynamic objects. It is primarily concern with the forces of drag and lift, which are caused by air passing over and around solid bodies. Keywords NACA 2412, Boeing 737, CFD, ANSYS.Īerodynamics is the study of how air interacts with moving bodies. The whole analysis is solely based on the principle of finite element method and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

From this result, we compared the better aerofoil between these two aerofoils. The pressure distribution as well as change in lift and drag force of these two aerofoils were visualized and compared. The outcome of this investigation was shown and computed by using ANSYS workbench 19.0. By varying angle of attack, change in drag force and lift force were also analyzed.
