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.
