Airfoil Performance Comparison of the NACA 4412 and NACA 6412 at High Reynolds Numbers
The paper discusses the behavior of two popular airfoils in the same conditions of flow, which are NACA 4412 and NACA 6412, at a Reynolds number of 1.85 ×10⁶, and uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as its primary instrument. The alteration in the flow field is considered also since the angle of attack is increased...
