  • Abstract:
  • Based on the ideology of moving surface boundary layer control (MSBC), a rotating surface at the leading edge and trailing edge of an airfoil, tends to increase the aerodynamic efficiency of the airfoil. Hence, the given paper aims to design an optimal airfoil, which result in a better lift generation and delayed boundary layer separation. Implementation of rotating cylinder at leading edge (LERC) and trailing edge (TERC) is the key change in the geometry of conventional NACA 2412. Computational analysis described the design to be an augmentation to the major aerodynamic characteristic, i.e. lift generation. The comparison was made with pre-existing data from experimentation and computational analysis available in literature. Geometry has been proven to be of competence with the given diameters (D, and d) of LERC and TERC, and with given angular velocity, ω. The velocity relation proposed by MSBC has also been proven to be correct by simulated analysis. Conclusively, an ideal design has been drawn comprising of rotating edge on leading edge and trailing edge, which evidently performs better than conventional airfoils.
