Abstract
This paper presents results of a numerical study on the effect of a standard leading-edge protection (LEP) tape on the aerodynamics of a NACA 64-618 airfoil. Two numerical models are used in STAR-CCM+ to estimate the impact of LEP tapes on airfoil c l and c d . The objective is to determine which numerical model resolves the physical mechanisms responsible for the aerodynamic degradation observed with standard LEP tapes. Experimental c d data...
