Abstract
Comparison of the Aerodynamic Performance characteristics of two popular airfoils NACA 2412 and NACA 4412 were observed under the same flow conditions at 2 million Reynolds Number. ANSYS was used for the creation of geometry and meshing and FLUENT was used as a solver. Various Aerodynamic parameters were compared for a range of Angle of Attack and the performance of each airfoil were compared and the selection of optimal airfoil for specific aerodynamic characteristics were concluded.
