A half elliptical shape with a major axis length of 60 mm and sem-minor axis length of 10 mm
is exposed to a uniform air flow at a velocity of 35 m/s as shown in Figure 1 Understanding
the aerodynamic forces and flow characteristics around this geometry is essential for
optimizing the system's efficiency and performance. This scenario is modeled in two
dimensions (2-D). Using ANSYS software
i.
ii.
Find the lift, drag force and coefficient.
Show the velocity, the pressure contours, and the streamlines.
