| Camber is the curve on the surface of the upper and lower of the airfoil. When the upper and lower surface of each airfoil identical is called symmetric, but if not is called an asymmetrical. In this final project will be made of numerical models to determine the effect of camber on a symmetrical airfoil (NACA 0012) and asymmetric (NACA 2412 and NACA 4412) on the aerodynamic forces such as lift, drag, and pitching moment. Numerical models are formulated using Xfoil 6.94 to determine the coefficient of lift, drag, and pitching moment, and then to determine airflow that occurs on the airfoil used Solidworks 2012 Flow Simulation. Validation of numerical models is done by comparing the results of research publications. From the results obtained validate the numerical model has been established can be said to be valid. Numerical model of the influence of camber on the aerodynamic forces can be analyzed differences in the coefficient of aerodynamic forces on the airfoil and the third model of how airflow patterns that occur in all three models of the airfoil. The results showed that the larger the value of an airfoil camber on the value of the coefficient of force adopted on the rise, but the pitching moment coefficient airfoil is lower. |
