Özet

© 2016 9th International Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics, ICCFD 2016 - Proceedings. All rights reserved.In this study, the aerodynamic forces, velocity and pressure distributions are analyzed on SD7062 wing profile with CFD program FLUENT. Calculations are made for one clean wing and 3 different winglets named End-Plate, Blended and Scimitar which are added on this clean wing. Each model are analyzed for different angle of attack degrees between -5 and 17. After calculations were ended, it is seen that wings’ with winglets aerodynamic performances are increased. Additionally, stall was occurred around 15 aoa degrees.
