CAD is essential for the Water Tunnel Project due to its applications to FEA, CFD as well as real life testing. In the video supplied, a step by step process has been described that helps the viewer to develop an airfoil using a simple tool called NACA XXXX.

Hey there! My name is Siddhant and I go by Sid. I am a first year M.S. Mechanical Engineer here at Duke and I’m also pursuing the SOAR Graduate Aerospace Certificate. My research interests revolve around Aerodynamics, with a focus on wing design and aeroelasticity. In the future, I hope to pursue a PhD in this field! I wanted to use this class as an opportunity to begin learning about wing design and thus continued Ryne Wang’s Project from Spring 2021!
