Gasdinamica: Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Aerospaziale

1) The document describes a laboratory experiment comparing theoretical and experimental results for airflow over an airfoil with a chord of 100mm placed at an angle of attack of 10 degrees. Pressure and velocity measurements were taken on the upper and lower surfaces. 2) Calculations using equations of state and the inclined manometer relation show the expected point of maximum suction near the leading edge on the upper surface and a pressure peak on the lower surface. 3) Graphs of the pressure coefficient and stream velocity around the airfoil match expectations, with positive lift expected due to larger negative Cp values on the upper surface compared to smaller positive values on the lower surface. The experiment successfully showed typical pressure evolution around an airfoil.
