This work reflects the study and detailed analysis of NACA 0012 airfoil at different angles of attack with a constant value of Reynolds Number. The geometrical designing of the airfoil is done using FreeCad and the computational analysis is carried out using Simflow 4.0- OpenFoam Interface. The analysis is fully based upon the concepts of FEM and CFD. The velocity is kept constant with various angles of attack. CFD methods are reliable source of analysis and hence can be replaced with the experimental wind tunnel methods. Boundary layer approaches were taken into consideration using the meshing techniques. The main purpose of this work is to study the symmetric profile of NACA 0012 with varying angles and the behaviour of 0012 at specific conditions. At the end, various graphs are plotted depicting the relationship of Angle of Attack with other dimensionless quantities.
