Description
Description
The current project simulates Magnetic Force Effect on NACA 0015 airfoil using ANSYS Fluent software. We perform this CFD project and investigate it by CFD analysis.
This airfoil is a symmetrical airfoil that does not produce a lift force at zero attack angle. We investigate the lift coefficient of this airfoil at different attack angles with and without Magnetic Hydro-Dynamic (MHD).
In this problem, we study the separation and the maximum angle of attack where the separation does not occur. By applying the magnetic force (MHD), the separation happens at a larger angle of attack.
We have designed the present 2-D geometry by Design Modeler software. Also, an unstructured triangular mesh has been applied around the airfoil using ANSYS Meshing software.
Magnetic Force Methodology
In this project, we aim to investigate the magnetic field effect in the computational zone. We have enabled the MHD module in fluent software to consider the magnetic force effect on the flow.
Magnetic Force Conclusion
This project provides velocity and pressure counters, streamlines, and velocity vectors after applying the plasma actuator. As can be seen from the velocity contour, the plasma actuator’s application causes the flow in the boundary layer to accelerate and adhere to the surface of the airfoil.
Also, the leading edge pressure suction has increased, and as a result, the lift has increased. As it turns out, after applying the plasma actuator, the flow separates from the airfoil surface somewhere before the initial separation point, which means the separation is delayed.
Therefore, it can be concluded that by applying a plasma actuator (MHD) to the NACA 0015 airfoil; a static stall occurs at a larger angle of attack.

Prince Schimmel –
How exactly does the application of a plasma actuator using MHD impact the separation point on the NACA 0015 airfoil compared to a scenario not involving MHD? Can we see a significant delay in the stall?
MR CFD Support –
The application of a plasma actuator using Magnetic Hydro-Dynamics (MHD) affects the flow behavior around the airfoil. By influencing the conductivity and momentum of the flow with magnetic fields, MHD can delay the separation of the flow from the airfoil’s surface, thus delaying the stall. The significant difference lies in that the separation, when an MHD actuator is applied, occurs at a larger angle of attack compared to a scenario without MHD, evidencing a notable delay in flow separation and stall.
Prof. Marisa Balistreri Sr. –

Dominic Considine –
Could you shed more light on how the addition of Magnetic Hydro-Dynamic effect delays the separation point? What exactly takes place at the boundary layer with MHD application?
MR CFD Support –
When the MHD effect is added, it alters the electromagnetic properties of the fluid near the boundary layer of the airfoil. The imposition of a magnetic field generates a Lorentz force which, given the right conditions, can modify the velocity profile of the fluid. This can result in an energizing of the boundary layer, increase in momentum, and reduction of adverse pressure gradients which can delay flow separation. Therefore, post application of MHD, the boundary layer can remain attached to the airfoil’s surface for a longer duration as it travels further along the airfoil before detaching, effectively delaying the separation and increasing the maximum angle of attack before stall occurs.
Dr. Lola Boehm II –
Exciting results! The ability to delay flow separation using MHD must have numerous applications in aerospace engineering. I’m curious, how do different magnetic field strengths influence the results?
MR CFD Support –
The strength of the magnetic field directly affects the extent of interaction in the Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) effect. Varied magnetic field strengths will influence the velocity and pressure distribution around the airfoil, thus affecting when and how the flow separation occurs. Stronger magnetic fields might result in more pronounced changes in the boundary layer characteristics, potentially delaying flow separation further. As you’ve identified the potential for application in aerospace, it’s indeed a significant area of study for improving airfoil performance under different flight conditions.

Patsy Grady –
I’m curious about the meshing process, how fine does the mesh need to be around the airfoil to accurately capture the impact of the Magnetic Hydro-Dynamic force on the lift coefficient?
MR CFD Support –
In this simulation, an unstructured triangular mesh is used. The mesh must be refined enough around the airfoil in order to capture the subtle changes in the flow due to the Magnetic Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) force. Typically, this requires a finer mesh in the boundary layer and near the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil for accurate lift coefficient prediction, especially when assessing the impact of MHD forces on flow separation.
Aurore Sauer Jr. –
The tutorial mentioned investigation at different attack angles. Can the magnetic force (MHD) control help to significantly alter the lift generated by the airfoil compared to scenarios without MHD? I’m curious about the practical implications of MHD on lift enhancement.
MR CFD Support –
In the simulation of the NACA 0015 airfoil under the influence of Magnetic Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) forces, it was observed that the MHD can positively affect the airflow around the airfoil, increasing the lift force generated. By applying MHD, the boundary layer flow adheres better to the airfoil surface, which delays flow separation and leads to increased lift at higher angles of attack compared to when MHD is not applied. This demonstrates a practical application of MHD in improving the performance characteristics of airfoils, particularly in delaying stall and enhancing lift.

Raul Swift –
The project sounds intriguing! Could you please provide more details on how the MHD module impacts the behavior of the boundary layer in relation to the airfoil?
MR CFD Support –
When the MHD module is enabled in Fluent, it introduces a magnetic force field around the airfoil. This force interacts with the electrically conducting fluid (in this case, air assuming some level of ionization), altering the momentum and causing the boundary layer to adhere more closely to the airfoil’s surface. This adjustment in the boundary layer dynamics eventually delays flow separation, thereby impacting lift and stall characteristics. The precise computational behavior, such as boundary layer velocity profiles and their alterations due to MHD effects, are detailed through simulation results such as velocity and pressure contours around the airfoil.

Thank you for your appreciation of the CFD simulation work. MHD control is a research area in aerodynamics aimed at improving aircraft performance by manipulating flow around the airfoil surfaces.

Absolutely, the application of magnetic hydrodynamic (MHD) effects, such as those demonstrated in the tutorial, has the potential to delay flow separation. This principle could indeed be considered in UAV design to enhance performance and control, particularly during high angles of attack where flow separation can be a critical issue. It suggests the possibility of extended flight envelopes and better stall characteristics for UAVs utilizing MHD techniques.
Cordelia Ledner –
What exactly is the role of the MHD module in this simulation and how does it impact airflow around the airfoil?
MR CFD Support –
In this simulation, the MHD (Magnetohydrodynamic) module within ANSYS Fluent is used to assess the magnetic field’s influence on the electrically conducting fluid, which in this case would presumably be the airflow around the airfoil. The magnetic field interacts with the airflow, altering its velocity and pressure distribution. This magnetic force effect can change boundary layer characteristics, delaying airflow separation from the airfoil’s surface and thereby increasing the stall angle. This interaction improves the aerodynamic performance by enhancing lift and delaying stall to a higher angle of attack.
