Aerodynamic Analysis of GOE398 Airfoil | Ansys Fluent

Overview This project consists of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the GOE398 airfoil using Ansys Fluent. The objective was to evaluate the airfoil’s aerodynamic behavior at various angles of attack under steady-state conditions. The study includes pressure and velocity fields, as well as lift and drag coefficient. The results were included in a presentation at the XVII Ansys Convergence Mexico 2020, focused on basic aerodynamic analysis. Methodology The airfoil profile was modeled in 2D. Simulations were performed for angles of attack between 0° and 20°. A structured mesh was generated and refined near the boundary layer. Analysis Parameters Pressure coefficient distribution Velocity magnitude and streamlines Lift and drag coefficient estimation Stall onset and boundary layer behavior Tools and Technologies Simulation: Ansys Fluent
