Effects of Airfoil Geometry on Lift Generation: A Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of NACA Airfoils

Airfoil geometry plays a significant role in lift generation and wing performance. Many of its effects have already been theorized through thin-airfoil theory and tested in specific applications. However, there have been few papers with a unified framework to examine the effects of different aspects of airfoil geometry...
