    Note that this is an individual assignment. You are encouraged to discuss the assignment with
    your colleagues, however, please provide your own understanding and original work. Cheating
    and plagiarism will not be tolerated. If it is established that a violation has occurred, your paper
    will not be accepted. In addition, the instructor may report the offense to the division/department
    chair, the student’s advisor, and dean. The questions do not carry equal weights. Your assignment
    might require 2-3hrs of studying your lecture notes and videos. Please provide all your asnswers
    neatly.

    Question 1

    The figure shown below is the comparison of two airfoils NACA 0012 and 66-012. The provided
    pressure distributions on both airfoils are the theoretical results obtained by NACA and are
    computed for 0-degree angle of attack.

    Please consider the given pressure distributions and comment on the following questions:

    a. Roughly locate the locations on both airfoils where adverse pressure gradient
    commences. Explain how you determine it.

    b. Which of the airfoils show premature flow separation closer to the leading edge?

    c. Which of the airfoils result in larger pressure (form) drag for the same flow
    conditions?

    Question 2

    Consider the NASA LS (1)-0417 airfoil shown in figure below, mounted in the test section of a
    wind tunnel. The length of the model in the flow directions (the chord length) is 0.5m, and its
    width across the flow (wingspan) is 2m. The tips of the model are flush with the vertical
    sidewalls of the wind tunnel; in this fashion the induced drag is zero, and the total drag on the
    airfoil mode is the profile drag (i.e., skin friction drag + pressure -from- drag). When the airflow
    in the test section of the wind tunnel is 100 m/s at standard sea-level conditions, the drag force
    on the airfoil at zero degrees angle of attach is 64.8N. For these conditions,

    (a) Calculate the drag on the airfoil due to skin friction. Assume that the skin friction drag
    coefficient is the same as the turbulent skin frictions drag on a flat plate of equal length
    and width.
    (b) Calculate the pressure drag on the airfoil.
    (c) Compare and comment on these results.

    Question 3

    Consider a 2D body flow over the given airfoil shape as shown in the figure above. A control
    volume is drawn around the body and the velocity profiles are given at the inlet and exit of the
    control volume. Using the equation derived in the class, calculate the drag coefficient (Cd) for the
    airfoil according to.

    Question 4

    Consider an airfoil in a wind tunnel (i.e. a wing that spans the entire test section). Prove that the
    lift per unit span can be obtained from the pressure distribution on the top and bottom walls of the
    wind tunnel (i.e., from the pressure distribution on the walls above and below the airfoil).

    Hint: You will follow the solution procedure that we used in class to derive the drag force per unit
    span. However, you will solve the momentum equation in y-direction in order to obtain the lift
    force that is acting on the airfoil in the vertical direction. Please use the control volume as shown
    below and you will obtain the following equation.
