This is an individual assignment; it contributes 25% of the total marks for the module
Answer all answers
The submission shall be in the form of a technical report which will contain sufficient details for
the reader to understand your 3D modelling and all the boundary condition together with input
parameters that you have used in the simulation. The report must include all relevant CFD
outputs and contours to show your design satisfies the operating requirements. ZERO marks will
be given for plagiarised work in ANY part of the report.

DUE DATE: . 2016

1. Consider an aircraft that has the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 19500kg. The aircraft is
required to cruise at 10500 m at Mach 0.6. You are tasked to design and analyse the wing for the
aircraft using ANSYS FLUENT. Your report will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
a) Analysis and sizing of the wing (lift and drag calculations, aerofoil selection etc.)
(25 marks)
b) Drawing the model
(10 marks)
c) Application of boundary conditions
(25 marks)
d) Results & discussions
(30 marks)
e) Conclusions & recommendations
(10 marks)
(100 marks)
