The flow over a NACA2412 airfoil is performed at various angles of attack and the lift and drag properties are studied at those airfoils. The angles of attack being 1, 5, 10 and 15 degrees. Airfoils are generally not studied for a 0 degree case since there would be zero lift for a symmetric airfoil. This can be explained…

In the ahmed body project, we studied about wake generation and how it affected the drag production of the body. As part of this project, we will be looking at the downforce generation of an FSAE car. An FSAE car will produce its downforce mainly from 3 areas. The body, the floor and the rear wing. We run the simulation…

The motion of a pendulum is simulated using the codes attached below using Matlab.   Three plots were generated, namely angular displacement vs angular velocity, angular displacement and angular velocity v time and the motion of the pendulum, which is saved as an animation and linked below.   Angular displacement,…

Assume a body in the path of a fluid or a stationary fluid where a body is moving. The property of fluids is such that is bends over the body. These are termed as streamlines. Each particle in the stream knows when it is about to impact a body and curves such that it moves over the body. After a point, the body stops impacting…
