Aerospace Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Airfoil Mesh Convergence

This Aerospace Engineering final year project investigates separating numerical error from physical assumptions in an airfoil simulation using a non-operational civil aerospace model, permitted teaching data or explicitly fictional system evidence.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic turns separating numerical error from physical assumptions in an airfoil simulation into a bounded aerospace analysis with traceable assumptions. Comparing lift coefficient, drag convergence and runtime gives a student a clear route to technical figures, model verification and a critical discussion of the gap between a teaching study and operational performance.

How do the selected aerospace modelling or system assumptions affect lift coefficient, drag convergence and runtime when separating numerical error from physical assumptions in an airfoil simulation?

Choose a documented teaching model or fictional civil aerospace case, then agree the parameter ranges and validation method for separating numerical error from physical assumptions in an airfoil simulation.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the civil teaching model, assumptions and evidence needed for separating numerical error from physical assumptions in an airfoil simulation.
  2. 02Compare mesh refinements on a published teaching case and inspect force convergence with documented boundary conditions.
  3. 03Compare lift coefficient, drag convergence and runtime and document uncertainty and operational limits.

A suggested research approach

Compare mesh refinements on a published teaching case and inspect force convergence with documented boundary conditions. Confirm data permission and keep the work separate from operational flight systems. Record units and model validity ranges, verify calculations against a reference, and report lift coefficient, drag convergence and runtime with sensitivity checks rather than presenting a single output as certified performance.

What you will need

  • CFD software
  • Published reference case
  • Mesh refinement plan

Keep your project scope clear

A converged calculation can remain physically inaccurate and is not flight validation.
