  A Computational Study of Lift and Drag Characteristics for NACA 4415 and NACA 2412 Aerofoils

  By Digambar Tukaram Kashid, Sandeep Sitaram Wangikar

  Abstract: The performance of an aerofoil is crucial in designing wind turbine blades, aircraft wings, and other aerodynamic surfaces. This project presents a comparative analysis of two widely used aerofoil profiles, NACA 4415 and NACA 2412, to study their lift and drag characteristics under different flow regimes. The aerofoil geometries were developed using the NACA four-digit notation and modeled in ANSYS Design Modeler. Numerical simulations were conducted in ANSYS Fluent for …
