Statement You are working for an aircraft manufacturer and your boss assigns you a project to design a plane wing that will be able to lift the weight of a 40,000 kg plane. Create only one wing but consider that there will be two wings when connected to the plane. Assume the plane is flying at a speed of 250 m/s and the wing is made of 2024-T3 aluminum. Create a report to present to your boss outlining how and why you designed the wing the way you did. Note: When designing the wing, create the cross-section shape of the wing and extrude to the length you desire. You do not need to include anything else. For example, 1 Design Requirements: • Wing Length should not exceed 25 meters Shape of airfoil is up to you, however within reasonable industry standards. To run simulation (after you've finished wing model): Enable SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation in SOLIDWORKS Add-Ins Click on the Flow Simulation Tab in SolidWorks . Click on "Wizard" on the top left ("Screenshot each step of the Wizard as you input values. You will need to include these in the final report") o Select SI units o Select External Analysis Type and Check BOTH "consider closed cavities" boxes o Set Gravity to -9.81 m/s^2 on the appropriate axis of your model so that gravity will pull downwards o Add Air from the Gases Tab to the Project Fluids Click "Next" on the Wall Conditions Tab o Set velocity of the Air to-250 m/s to the appropriate axis so that the air is acting on the front side of the wing Click Finish
• Select Computational Domain in the flow simulation tab, set parameters such that the domain is at least 3 meters away from the wing from all sides. Right Click the Goals Tab and select Insert Global Goals • * Global Goals Parameters Parameter Min Av Max Bul Surface Heat Flux (Convect Wall Temperature Heat Transfer Rate (Conved Heat Transfer Rate Absolute Total Enthalpy Rab Normal Force Normal Force 00 Normal Force ( Normal Force ( Force Force Force ( Force Friction Force o Check Max Force X, Y, or Z* (this will be the lift force so it will depend on which axis is the horizontal axis in the model) Click Run on the Flow Simulation Tab and wait for the simulation to finish producing results (This may take a while.) • Click on the Results Tab in the Simulation Tree and right click Goal Plot and select Insert. Check Force (X/YZ) depending on which force you chose for the lift force and select show. Find Max Lift Force and determine if it is enough to lift the 40,000 kg airplane. o NOTE: If your values are negative, they may have been applied in the incorrect direction. Right click on "Flow Trajectories" in the Results Tab in the Simulation Tree and Insert Flow Trajectory, selecting parameters you think are best. Sudden Turbulence This airfoil is experiencing the most ideal conditions, however, this is not the most accurate representation of what a plane can experience on a day-to-day basis. Specifically, there are often times where there will be significant amounts of turbulence that your airfoil will have to withstand. Adjust your simulation such that your airfoil design is still able to lift the weight of the plane while experiencing turbulence. Set your wind speed to >250 m/s (open ended/your choice) and report your findings. 300 400 00000000000000 00000000000000
Final Report: • Submit a pdf file including the screenshots of o Wing design with dimensions and design tree shown o Each Step of the Wizard with correct input values o The goal plot of both flow simulations o Both flow trajectories of the wing design
