Numerical analysis for comparison of aerodynamic characteristics of six airfoils
Comparison of six airfoils; FX 63-137, FX76-100, S835, S809, NACA63415, and NACA63215, have been performed using commercial software, FLUENT and XFOIL, in order to choose the best maximum lift to drag ratio in the region of 4×10∧6 Reynolds number, and also to specify their aerodynamic coefficients in Blade Element Momentum theory (BEM). These airfoils are candidates for the use as blade turbines and another application of flying object operating at high Reynolds number. In this study, the two-dimensional model of airfoils was established through Gambit software. The range of angles of attack is from -150 to 150. Comparisons of the numerical results generally show good agreements. Numerical results of FX 63-137 were also validated with experimental data. A good agreement of lift and drag coefficient from numerical simulations of FLUENT and experimental data was obtained at 10∧6 Reynolds number.

A comparative study on the motion of various objects inside an air tunnel
This paper presents a comparative study of the movement of various rigid bodies through an air tunnel for both two and three-dimensional flow problems. Three kinds of objects under investigation are in the form of box, ball and wedge shape. The investigation was carried out through the use of a commercial CFD software, named Fluent, in order to determine aerodynamic forces, act on the object as well as to track its movement. Adopted numerical scheme is the time-averaged Navier-Stokes equation with k - ε as its turbulence modeling and the scheme was solved using the SIMPLE algorithm. Triangular elements grid was used in 2D case, while tetrahedron elements for 3D case. Grid independence studies were performed for each problem from a coarse to fine grid. The motion of an object is restricted in one direction only and is found by tracking its center of mass at every time step. The result indicates the movement of the object is increasing as the flow moves down stream and the box have the fastest speed compare to the other two shapes for both 2D and 3D cases.
