AIRFOIL

NOMENCLATURE

How is lift produced?

Lift Generation
Continuity Equation: (AV)1 = (AV)2 Eulers Equation: dp=-*V*dV Bernoullis Equation: P+V2 = constant along streamline

 Lift, L=q * S * cl Drag,

D= q * S * cd Moment, M= q * S * c * cm
Where, c - chord length q - dynamic pressure S - wing area

Angle of attack and coefficient of lift

Flow Separation
After stall angle is reached, Flow separation occurs. Drag increases and lift decreases

Symmetric Airfoil
