Abstract

In this study, flow field analysis was performed to determine the aerodynamic coefficients for the SC36210 and NACA0018 airfoil profiles in supersonic compressible flow at 2 Mach.
During this analysis, ANSYS Fluent, and geometric modeling was used. Numerical simulation of flow was made by K-ω Transition turbulence model. Change in the attack angle
versus the divergence angle of airfoil surface profile was examined for elastic flexible SC series. According to the results, as the Mach number of the free flow increases, the
aerodynamic coefficient values decrease. In addition, Elastic flexible airfoil profiles for use in supersonic wings have higher performance advantages compared to SC36210 and
NACA0018 series airfoils.
