Abstract


In this work, Authors will discuss and provide a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimization which is a highly efficient analysis applied to an isolated wing equipped by a morphing winglet to control the vortex phenomena using Fluent16.0 code. To build this optimal configuration, we conducted a numerical parametric study on one geometrical parameter known as dihedral angle. This study is divided into two parts: first choose a good numerical model for Vortex then optimize the morphing winglet. We also investigated a new configuration that includes other dihedral angles that will potentially reduce vortex and facilitate the choice of the best lift coefficient. The results presented confirm the experimental results of the literature data. Our principal objective is to propose a new configuration based on morphing winglets in order to minimize the drag force applied to the aircraft.
