| Summary: | Aerodynamics Study of Tubercle Effect on NACA4412 Airfoil
The purpose of this research is to study the aerodynamics characteristics of NACA4412
airfoil with tubercle effect on its leading edge. The study was performed on three
different leading edges of the airfoil; leading edge without the tubercles, leading edge
with spherical tubercles and leading edge with continuous spherical tubercles. The study
focuses on the effect of the spherical tubercles on aerodynamics lift and drag
characteristics of the NACA4412 airfoil. The experiment was performed by using the
wind tunnel in the aerodynamics laboratory in Universiti Sains Malaysia. The result was
obtained, compared and discussed further in the thesis.
