Abstract

In this paper mainly focused effect of fixed slot on performance of NACA0012 airfoil. Using slot lower surface high pressurized air passes through slot to energized upper surface. Analysis has been done on NACA0012 of 1m cord length at 25C of air with 5m/s air velocity. First plain airfoil at different angle of attack has been analyzed to find out stall condition and Cl, Cd . After that same parameter and physics, only change in geometry of airfoil with 15%C leading edge slot. Flow separation is adverse effect for performance of airfoil. Due to flow separation adverse pressure gradient effect reverse flow is there, we cause reduction of lift coefficient and increment of drag coefficient so flow separation necessary to reduce. There are different techniques to reduce flow separation but effect of slot on airfoil has been studied. Keyword: Angle of attack (AOA), plain airfoil, slotted airfoil, SST model,
