Abstract

Abstract: The Characteristic of Stream Aerodynamics through Airfoil Joukowski/ Flat Plate on Endwall Area. This research analyzed the characteristic of stream aerodynamics through airfoil joukowski/flat plate. It focuses on endwall area due to its complexity of three-dimensional flow and the numerical method as its characteristic. The numerical method is used to solve the experiment peripherals obstacles that have to cover some detailed aspects. The result shows that in zero-degree angle of attack, the saddle point has been formed near the leading edge. The streamline profile seems symmetric in endwall area and shows near-nil lift values. In 10-degree angle of attack, the saddle point has been formed downward and away from leading edge. It reveals that the adverse pressure gradient raises as angle of attack increased, and forces wider low-pressure area to strengthen flow from span to endwall area.
