CFD Analysis of NACA 2421 Aerofoil at Several Angles of Attack

Varatharajan R Madhanraj* and Dilip A Shah

In this paper NACA 2421 Aerofoil is analyzed at several angles of attack ranging from -200 to 200 and with the Reynolds number at 1.8 × 10⁵ and the velocity are 20 m/s. The co-efficient of lift and drag are compared with the standard values in the literature. Variation of pressure co-efficient is plotted in the form of contour. The aerofoil is designed in ANSYS and it is imported to Computational Fluid Dynamics and the variations of CL and CD with respect to various angles of attack is analyzed.
