Abstract

The present experimental work deals with the results of aerodynamic testing of the airfoil NACA 63-212. The 3D CAD model was prepared with modifications on the upper portion of the airfoil to allow testing with and without additional active airflow on the upper surface. The testing was done on CFD simulation software for a fixed angle of attack (0°) and wind velocity (10 ms⁻¹). The range of pressures varied from 0 to 10 kPa. The lift and drag generated by the airfoils were recorded for different cases of overpressure and underpressure, and these recorded values were further used for the calculation of the drag and lift coefficients under different cases of the additional active airflow. It was observed that increase of drag coefficient and lift coefficient from 0 to 10 kPa is 0.0067 and 0.0135 in underpressure while decrease of drag coefficient and lift coefficient from 0 to 10 kPa is 0.0084 and 0.0202 in overpressure.
