Comparative Study of Dimple Effect on Three-Dimensional Cambered Aircraft Wing

This paper focuses on aerodynamic analysis over a 3D cambered wing with dimple-like surface modification. Application of the golf ball dimples airfoils is predicted to be good alternative for drag reduction. A allows smooth and controlled flight. Models wings based NACA 2412 airfoil were created investigate dimple effect. comparative study carried out between models inward outward at 50% chord length locations. Simulations conducted two velocities – 30 m/s 90 angle attacks varying from 0° 20°. The using different platforms respective processes. Firstly, ANSYS WORKBENCH© SOLIDWORKS© are used geometry creation model. Next, FLUENT© pre-processing solver setup stage. Then, TECPLOT©, MATLAB© post-processing showed better aerodynamics when compared no cases.
