3-D Models for Code Validation Worksheet

Materials needed:

Explanation:

Step 1.

Dimesions of Wing:

Thickness of wing ________________

Area of wing ________________

 Step 2.

Theoretical Lift Generated (FoilSim)
Angle of Attack
Lift
0


5


10


15


20


25


Use the data in the table to create a graph which plots lift against angle of attack. Use a red pencil for this data set.

 

Step 3.

Actual Lift Generated (Wind Tunnel)
Angle of Attack
Lift
0

Step 4.

Now you are ready to plot the lift values for the model wing. Use a blue colored pencil and plot the values on the same graph as the one used to depict the lift for the computer-generated wing in Step 2.

 How do the plots compare?

Can you account for any discrepancy between the two?

Present your findings in the form of a technical report.
