Abstract:Improving airfoil aerodynamic performance is an essential aspect of aerodynamic technology. The use of passive flow control is one way to enhance the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil. The influence of using gurney flaps as passive flow control was explored through the CFD approach employing the RANS control equations with the k-epsilon turbulence model. The airfoil model utilized in this investigation was the NACA 4415 operating at a Reynolds number of 1×106. This study explored three different variation… Show more
