Numerical study of 2D and 3D flow after NASA 4412 airfoil

Abstract

In this research work, we conducted an extensive numerical study of the flow around the NASA 4412 airfoil in both two- and threedimensional spaces. To do this, we used advanced computational methods and tools, such as the Comsol Multiphysics software package. Based on the calculations performed, we analyzed the flow characteristics around the airfoil under consideration in order to fully study its aerodynamic properties. Particular attention was paid to turbulence modeling using the k-ε model. This made it possible to more accurately assess turbulent effects and their influence on the behavior of the airfoil under various flow conditions. The obtained results were carefully compared with experimental data, which made it possible to confirm the accuracy and reliability of our numerical calculations. This approach to analyzing the flow around the NASA 4412 airfoil could be an important step in the development of more efficient and optimized aerodynamic designs in various fields of engineering and technology.
