Simulating NACA 2412 Airfoil over Varied Angles of Attack in Ansys Fluent with Verification

We also use simple calculations of appropriate resultant forces to make sure we are determining a drag force parallel to the flow and a lift force normal to the flow. The simulated coefficients of lift and drag are in reasonable alignment with experimental data.
