separation.
1. Angle of attack
2. Reynolds number
3. Tip distance to Chord ratio
Airfoil
• A streamlined surface designed in such a way that air flowing around
it produces useful motion.
Terms used in airfoil.
A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it.
Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow
direction.
It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the force parallel
to the flow direction.
Pressure Coefficient Cp:
Cp is the difference between local static pressure and free-stream (at ∞) static
pressure, nondimensionalized by the free-stream dynamic pressure. At any point in
the flow where the local pressure coefficient Cp is defined as
𝐶p = 𝑃 − 𝑃 ∞
1/2 𝜌∞𝑈2∞

2. Combine effect of Angle 0f Attack And Reynolds Number
