ABSTRACT

NACA 0015 and NACA 4415 profiles are used as the wing cross section. The leading-edge tubercles design being formulated through unequal chord length. The ratio of amplitude (A) to wavelength (λ), expressed as (η = A/λ), retains high priority in the design perspective of tubercle research. The variable mean chord length (C), along with span-wise ordinates (z), are elucidated by the wave equation:

C(z) = Acos(2πz /λ) + C

The chord length variation (∆c) along the span-wise direction is computed and is presented in Figure 1.
