Examination of Wing Profile Yield Inspired by The Fins of Humpback Whale with CFD Analysis
Abstract
Depending on the survival of living beings and ecosystems existing in nature, the systems they contain has a near perfect state. This makes it possible to find the most appropriate solution by mimicking nature and life in the solution of many problems faced by mankind. The aim of this study was to comparison of the profile of the tubercle profile, inspired by the fins of the humpback whale, with the profile of the flat wing in terms of efficiency at different temperature, pressure and velocity conditions, used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software.
