Airflow Modeling across a Flying Bird, ANSys Fluent CFD Simulation Training
This work is to examine airflow modeling across a flying bird. Engineers could find motivation in the aerodynamic study to create more sensible wings with improved performance.
Methodology
The working fluid, air, is incompressible so the pressure-based solver is applied. Furthermore hired in order to represent the expected flow complexity and wakes is the k-epsilon Realizable two-equation turbulence model.
Results
Under this study, we looked at airflow across a bird. Birds' forms help to minimize the separation of the boundary layer and improve lift generation so the bird may fly through the air with the least possible effort. The acquired data indicates that the pressure distribution on the top surface of the wing (airfoil) is smaller than the pressure on the bottom face since the airflow velocity is more than that of the bottom surface. Lift force creation on the bird's wings will start from this pressure distribution.
