  1. UNIT - VII Aerodynamic Characteristics of Airfoils and wings

  2. Aerodynamic forces and Moments coefficients

  3. Aerodynamic forces • Aerodynamic forces exerted by airflow comes from only two sources • Pressure, p, distribution on surface • Acts normal to surface • Shear stress, tw, (friction) on surface • Acts tangentially to surface • Pressure and shear are in units of force per unit area (N/m2) • Net unbalance creates an aerodynamic force • “No matter how complex the flow field, and no matter how complex the shape of the body, the only way nature has of communicating an aerodynamic force to a solid object or surface is through the pressure and shear stress distributions that exist on the surface.” • “The pressure and shear stress distributions are the two hands of nature that reach out and grab the body, exerting a force on the body – the aerodynamic force”

  4. Aerodynamic forces and moments are due to • Pressure distribution • Shear stress distribution • Nomenclature • R  resultant force • L  lift • D  drag • N  normal force • A  Axial force

  5. Relative Wind: Direction of V∞ • We used subscript ∞ to indicate far upstream conditions • Angle of Attack, a: Angle between relative wind (V∞) and chord line • Total aerodynamic force, R, can be resolved into two force components • Lift, L: Component of aerodynamic force perpendicular to relative wind • Drag, D: Component of aerodynamic force parallel to relative wind • Center of Pressure: It is that point on an airfoil (or body) about which the aerodynamic moment is zero • Aerodynamic Center: It is that point on an airfoil (or body) about which the aerodynamically generated moment is independent of angle of attack

  6. Moments About Leading Edge , quarter Chord point and about center of pressure

  7. Center of Pressure: It is that point on an airfoil (or body) about which the aerodynamic moment is zero • Thin Airfoil Theory: • Symmetric Airfoil: • Cambered Airfoil: • Aerodynamic Center: It is that point on an airfoil (or body) about which the aerodynamically generated moment is independent of angle of attack • Thin Airfoil Theory: • Symmetric Airfoil: • Cambered Airfoil:

  8. Drag Polar

  9. Drag Polar : both the Cl and Cd are the functions of angle of attack thus the drag coefficient is that it depends on lift coefficient and the typical variations on Cl and Cd is called as Drag polar The Drag polar is very important in performance analysis of aircrafts. For an aircraft with symmetrical airfoil sections the drag polar is given as CD = CDO+KCL2

  10. Lift Curve Slope

  11. Lift Curve Slope

  12. Lift Curve for a Normal Wing and NACA 63415 Wing

  13. Lift curve for High aspect ratio wing and Delta wing Aircraft

  14. Lift curve for a straight wing and Swept wing Aircraft

  15. Maximum Lift Coefficient

  16. Lift coefficient changes with addition of control surfaces

  17. Lift coefficient changes with increase in aspect ratio and also Angle of attack can be decreased

  18. Lift coefficient increasing with maximum thickness

  19. Variation of Cl, CD, L/D with AOA

  20. Increase in lift coefficient with different control surfaces or high lift devices

  21. Minimum drag coefficient

  22. To obtain minimum drag coefficient 1) we have to streamline the body

  23. 2) Increasing the sweep angle

  24. Drag coefficient data obtained for a rectangular wing and swept back wing on wing tunnel and lifting line numerical methods

  25. Min drag coefficient for wing section and complete airplane

  26. It gives the maximum possible glide angle

  27. Max values of L/D ratios

  28. Effect of Airfoil and wing geometry

  29. Airfoil Nomenclature

  30. Reynolds No, Boundary Layer Transition and surface roughness

  31. NACA Conventional Airfoils

  32. Laminar Flow Airfoils • An airfoil designed for minimum drag and uninterrupted flow of the boundary layer is called a laminar airfoil.

  33. Supercritical Airfoils: • Designed to delay and reduce transonic drag rise, due to both strong normal shock and shock-induced boundary layer separation

  34. Whitchomb supercritical airfoils

  35. Drag Reduction And lift Augmentation Methods • Many theories have been developed on how a wing generates lift. The most common one is the “Longer Path Theory”. • This theory describes how the shape of the aerofoil produces a pressure difference which generates lift. As the aerofoil is designed in such a way that its upper surface is longer than the bottom, and because the molecules that hit the leading edge must meet again at the trailing edge, the ones that travel on the upper surface do so with greater velocity than the lower

  36. Flap system • Leading edge devices • Multi element airfoils • Circulation control • Laminar flow control • winglets

  37. Flap systems • Flap is an element attached to the aileron of the wing section • It is always possible to reduce stall speed by increasing wing area

  38. Different types of flap system

  39. Flaps change the airfoil pressure distribution, increasing the camber of the airfoil and allowing more of the lift to be carried over the rear portion of the section

  40. Leading Edge Devices

  41. Leading Edge Devices • Leading edge devices such as nose flaps, Kruger flaps, and slats reduce the pressure peak near the nose by changing the nose camber. Slots and slats permit a new boundary layer to start on the main wing portion, eliminating the detrimental effect of the initial adverse gradient.

  42. A Wing with slats and Flaps

  43. Multi Element Airfoils

  44. Circulation Control • Circulation Control Wing technology is one of the most important potential applications of the Coanda Effect.The objective is to replace the lift devices on the leading and trailing edges of a wing by use of Coanda Surfaces and slot blowing instead.
