Flow over an airfoil:
This lab experiment involves flow over an airfoil. There will be an angle of attack. Because of
this angle of attack, we will have to components of velocity. The value of density will be taken
as 1 kg/m^3. While model of the solver will be Inviscid. The name of airfoil is Naca 0012.
Geometry:
The first step is to import the airfoil geometry. It is present in the form of coordinates.

Surface from Edges:

Creating a Plane at the tail:

Arc by Center:

Using Boolean Feature:

Creating 4 Quadrants:

Creating Mesh:
Edge Sizing:
Final Mesh:

Issues with Mesh:

Despite any efforts to refine the mesh, I could not refine it. I tried multiple options including the
use of automatic method also. Furthermore Mapped face meshing before and after the edge
sizing was tried with no considerable effect. So in order to depict the effort put into the process,
the mesh was included as it is.
