Estudo comparativo de um fluxo transiente laminar-turbulento utilizando métodos computacionais: estudo comparado das características de um escoamento em regime transiente laminar-turbulento utilizando método dos painéis e método CFD

Abstract

The use of computational software for external aerodynamics is a fundamental discipline in aeronautical engineering, encompassing the study of forces and movements of aircraft in the air. The main objective of this work is to compare drag and lift coefficient values ob tained computationally with experimental values for a NACA 0012 airfoil. The project was developed using simulations, employing the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method and the panel method. The results obtained show that although both methods are suffici ently accurate compared to the experimental results, the CFD method proves to be more precise, albeit more costly.
