Assignment Aerodynamics 3, 2013-2014

nr. F1

1. Introduction
The assignment for Aerodynamics 3 consists of a small research into the aerodynamic behavior of a clean wing. Students work in groups of 6 people on this research assignment and each group receives a different assignment. The available hours for the assignment is 16 hrs / student. The results will be presented in two ways: A presentation of max. 10 min to the other 2nd year students Report (printed version), handed in before the presentation

2. Assignment description
Study the effect of aspect ratio and wing sweep on the lift distribution and lift curve slope for a wing with =0.4 and a NACA 52XX airfoil.

3. Assessment
The presentation will be assessed with a pass/fail, and is specially aimed at informing other students in a professional way. The presentation should at least contain: Clear research question Results of the literature survey AVL model and simulation set-up Discussion of results and conclusion

The report will be graded, and is an in-depth presentation of the conducted research. It contains at least: Notes: 1. In your report you are expected to put the used AVL input-files in the appendix. If these input-files are missing, the report cannot be assessed 2. If the presentation results in a fail, and/or the report is insufficient, the group will get a new assignment. 3. AVL .exe file, the AVL manual and example input file will be published on Blackboard Problem identification and research question (main/sub) Lit. survey + results (check the reliability of the sources) AVL model and simulation set-up Assessment of the chosen number of vortices on the AVL results Model data and well presented calculation data (AVL input files) Results + discussion, comparison with literature Conclusion
