Airfoil Leading Edge Waviness data set

Description

This study numerically investigates the aerodynamic performance of a bio-inspired wavy leading-edge airfoil under high-subsonic flow conditions using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in ANSYS Fluent. Simulations were conducted at a freestream velocity of 230 m/s and angles of attack of 3°, 9°, 15°, and 21° to analyze pressure distribution, velocity fields, lift, drag, and flow separation. The results demonstrate that leading-edge waviness generates streamwise vortices, delays flow separation, improves lift characteristics, and promotes a more gradual stall, highlighting its potential as an effective passive flow-control technique for enhanced aerodynamic performance.
