DRAG INVESTIGATION AROUND A CYLINDER AND SYMMETRIC AIRFOIL IN TANDEM WITH DIFFERENT GAPS AND ANGLES OF ATTACK
Journal Title: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Research & Developments (JMERD) - Year 2019, Vol 42, Issue 1
Abstract
A Numerical simulation for the turbulent airflow around a symmetrical airfoil (NACA 0012) adjusted in tandem with circular cylinder, the airfoil were adjusted at variable angle of attack between (5-20°) with positive clockwise inclination setting the cylinder center in front of the leading-edge centroid using the realizable K-ɛ turbulent model in the ANSYS FLUENT 17 package is performed. The effect of changing the adjusted tandem bodies’ configuration, gap (0.05-0.1) and the cylinder size variation on the flow pressure distribution and the airfoil drag coefficient were investigated. The simulation considered in free stream uniform velocity of (25 m/sec) at standard atmospheric pressure. The results showed that using a cylinder with diameter equal to leading edge diameter causes more pressure drop as the tandem gap decreased, noticing that this effect becomes more significant at a high angle of attack. A valuable reduction in drag coefficient of this configuration is achieved and it becomes more with a smaller cylinder diameter with respect to gap distance.
