Computational Study on Effect of Flap Deflection on NACA 2412 Airfoil in Subsonic Flow

Abstract:

This computational study is aimed at studying the effects of flap deflection angle on aerodynamic coefficients of NACA 2412 airfoil and thus predicting the suitability of using the airfoil with flap at various phases of flight. The change in airflow over the airfoil at different angles of attack (0, 4, 8 and 12 degrees) and at different flap deflections give a clear understanding for the use of right combination of these two parameters. A full package of pictorial description for visualizing the changes in flow with and without the flap is provided through pressure and velocity contours.
