Constraints on aerodynamic noise are also becoming increasingly important. The fundamental design problem, common to all these disciplines, is to design a wing shape that provides the desired lift for given operating conditions, while at the same time fulfilling the design constraints. However, design optimization normally requires a large number of analyses of objectives and constraints. Consequently, a careful selection of computational methods, both for the fluid flow analysis and the optimization process, is essential for a fast and efficient design process. This papers provides an approach for determining the aerodynamics performance of different airfoils with some modifications. The two airfoils NACA 0012 and S2027 has been considered for the study. By cutting the end point to convert into flat surface, NACA 0012 airfoil has been modified in this work. The CFD analysis has been carried out along with experimental validations. Eddy viscosity Pressure, Lift, Drag, Different Velocities and Lift to Drag Ratio are the basic variables for the study. Among all these parameters discussed above, the pressure drag constitutes the major portion of drag force experienced by an airfoil. The most common method used to reduce this drag and optimization of other parameters is by streamlining the airfoil design or it can be further reduced by some simple design modifications. Thus, the objective of this research is to “Optimize the Aerodynamic parameters by proper modifications in airfoil design via simulation as well as Experimental analysis path.”
