Abstract
Drag reduction has a significant impact on both fuel consumption and an aircraft's aerodynamic performance. The main motive of this paper is to increase the lift and decrease the drag by using shark denticles on the upper surface of the wing with different angles of attack. The shark denticle creates turbulence flow over the wing, and the boundary layer separation in the chord can be extended up to a specified distance. The NACA 0012 airfoil has been utilized to design the wing. After creating the wing, ANSYS 2022 R1 was used to CFD analyze the wing. The SST k-omega turbulence model has used the utilized RANS equation, and Mach 0.6 is assumed as free stream velocity. The findings are noteworthy, and other changes may be necessary to boost performance.
