Join the next Colloquium in Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics tomorrow with Prof. Dr. Andreas Schröder on dense 3D particle tracking. The 3D Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) method “Shake-The-Box” (STB) has been continuously developed during the past couple of years and is able to reliably and efficiently extract particle trajectories from volumetric flow measurements at unprecedented numbers. STB delivers accurate data on particles position, velocity and acceleration (material derivative) along densely distributed tracks. The STB method can be applied as well to short recording sequences, acquired with a multi- or two-pulse technique, allowing investigating high-speed flows at Reynolds numbers relevant for research in aerospace engineering.

I want to share my recent project of analysing Airfoil Naca 63210 at three different angle of attack and at 3 velocities.This project focuses on utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze the stall behavior and shock wave formation on the NACA 63210 airfoil. By conducting simulations under varying conditions such as angle of attack and airspeed, the study aims to identify the onset of stall and the formation of shock waves along the airfoil surface. Insights gained from this analysis will contribute to understanding the aerodynamic performance of the NACA 63210 airfoil and aid in optimizing its design to mitigate stall effects and minimize shock wave formation. The project findings will be valuable for improving the efficiency and stability of airfoil-based applications in aerospace and other industries.
