Wing in ANSYS Fluent

To figure out how a wing works, let's imagine we have a tiny plane flying straight into the wind with our wing firmly attached. The wing slices through the air in such a way that the air rushes past it faster near the front edge and slower near the back edge, producing an upward force called lift. The 3D model allows us to study the airflow around different shapes and sizes of wings in more detail, giving us valuable information about how the wing's angle of attack and the shape of its curve influence the lift and drag. This means we can optimize our plane for better efficiency or agility. We use some basic math formulas to calculate how much lift a wing will produce. We have a few important variables - speed, density of the air, area of the wing, and angle of attack. We put these numbers into equations like the Bernoulli's Principle, which relates pressure in the fluid to velocity: P / (1/2 \* rho \* v^2), and also Newton's third law: F_net = m * a. These simple formulas show how changing any one variable will change the amount of lift or drag produced.
