Pre-Analysis & Start-Up — Lesson 2

This lesson covers the pre-analysis of flow over an airfoil using Ansys Fluent® fluid simulation software. The lesson delves into the process of simulating an airfoil experiencing an incoming flow with a given angle of attack, and examining the resulting pressures and velocities. It also discusses the characterization of the lift and drag of the airfoil using non-dimensional coefficients. The lesson further explains the mathematical model and numerical solution method used in the simulation. It also provides an overview of the expected results and how to verify the solution using hand calculations and experimental data.
