Numerical Simulation of a Low Reynolds Number Airfoil

Yu Fu Wang, Guo Tao, Ze Hai Wang, Zhe Wu

Abstract

In this paper, a low Reynolds number airfoil (S1223) is the objective of the study. The Navier-Stokes equations were established to simulate the complex flow around a low Reynolds number airfoil, in which the turbulence model was used. The complex flow around the airfoil was simulated at 2x105 Reynolds number and its aerodynamic characteristics were analyzed. The relationship among lift coefficient, drag coefficient and angle of attack was studied.
