Evaluating the influence of unsteady air density to the aerodynamic performance of a fixed wing aircraft at different angle of attack using computational fluid dynamics

Recent studies have focused on unsteady aerodynamics of an aircraft using computational fluid dynamics. It was found that a change in the density of air within the flight domain influences the aerodynamic performance of aircrafts in flight. This is as a result of the occurrence of turbulence and uns...
