Analisis Aerodinamika Airfoil Naca 2412 pada Sayap Pesawat Model Tipe Glider dengan Menggunakan Software Berbasis Computional Fluid Dinamic untuk Memperoleh Gaya Angkat Maksimum

Abstract

Aerodynamics characteristics is a very important thing in applications of aerodynamics science that aimed to get maximum performance from a form object. Analysis of aerodynamics characteristics is done at airfoil naca 2412 used in wings aircraft model glider type. In this research, analysis of aerodynamics characteristics isdone with assessing the distribution of fluid flow along the contours of an aircraft wing airfoil to get distribution of velocity, pressure and forces that occur around the airfoil. The analysis is done by simulating fluid flow that flowing at naca 2412 airfoil using solidworks2010 software. The purpose of this analysis is to find out how large the angle of attack that can produce maximum lift on the wings of the plane.The method used is a method of simulation analysis. The simulation is performed by creating a NACA 2412 airfoil model and then vary the angle of attack, and so obtained the relationship between angle of attack with speed, pressure, and maximum lift force is generated. And the result from simulation analysis is lift maximum was happened on 12o of angle of attack with value 33,5509 N.
