Abstract

An aerofoil is a structure used in fluid flow conditions. The structure offers the variation in velocity and pressure of flowing fluid when passed on it. The lift and drag forces are depending on the pressure created and variation in velocity. The present paper is carried out to study the pressure and velocity contours of fluid flow. The different conjugations considered are circular dimples on the surface of the aerofoil, circular dimples above and below the surface of the aerofoil, triangular dimples on the surface of the aerofoil and triangular dimples above and below the surface of the aerofoil. The flow analysis of NACA 6412 at an angle of attack of 4 degrees is carried out in SIMULIAXFlow.
