Airfoil Simulation

AerodynamicsWind TunnelSimulation

Assignment

Wind tunnel activity testing airfoil designs, recording lift and drag data at various camber angles.

What I learned

Before this, I thought wing design was trivial for efficient flight. The wind-tunnel tests showed me design is absolutely instrumental — the smallest changes in shape can significantly affect lift and drag.

Improvements & reflection

The math was harder than the assignment. I could have been more organized when arranging data chronologically — I lost points there. It taught me to keep engineering work neatly structured.
