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

Investigating the Influence of Process Parameters on Photochemical Machining of Phosphor Bronze Alloy MicrochannelsBy Pradnya Krishna Bhuse, Sandeep Sitaram Wangikar
Abstract: Microchannels are widely employed in microfluidic devices, biomedical systems, and compact heat exchangers, where their functional efficiency depends strongly on surface finish, dimensional control, and edge quality. Traditional machining techniques often face limitations in producing such features with the required precision, prompting the use of advanced micromachining methods. In the present work, photochemical machining (PCM) has been applied to fabricate serpentine-shaped microchannels in phosphor bronze. The study systematically investigates the …
