In this research work the influence of Reynolds numbers for two different
wingtip configurations (such as, sweptback tapered wingtip and the
single slotted raked wingtip) were investigated at different angles of
attack by using the numerical simulations in FLUENT.
Based on the present study, it is concluded that, the effects of Reynolds
numbers on the aerodynamic characteristics are found at higher angles of
attack but not at lower angles of attack. The increase in aerodynamic
efficiency is more for single slotted raked wingtip as compared to
sweptback tapered wingtip, which ultimately leads to reduction of induced
drag. For further investigations, it would be very helpful to investigate its
impact on the very low Reynolds numbers and compressible flow
INFLUENCE OF WINGTIP DEVICES IN REDUCING INDUCED DRAG
In the present study the computational analysis is carried out on the NACA-
65(3)-218 wing with the objective of reducing the lift induced drag, which
accounts almost 30 – 40% of the total drag produced by the wing.
From the results it is concluded that Rake and L-winglet performs better than
clean winglet at all higher angles of attacks. The Rake winglet performs better
than clean winglet with high L/D ratio of 8 at the angle of attack of 8. And
the L – Winglet performs better than both clean and Rake winglet with the
high L/D ratio of 10 at the angle of attack of 8 and the performance of all the
three wing configuration decreases as the angle of attack increases further
higher from 8 to 16

This work describes the aerodynamic characteristics for aircraft wing model
with and without slotted winglet. i) Aerodynamic characteristics for the
aircraft model with NACA wing No. 0012 have been presented, ii) Lift curve
slope increases more with the addition of the slotted winglet and at the
same time the drag decreases more for the aircraft model with slotted
winglet giving an edge over the aircraft model without winglet as far as L/D
for the slotted winglet is considered, iii) Slotted winglet of
configuration1(winglet inclination 30˚) has, overall, the best performance,
giving about 10-20% increase in lift 20-25% reduction in drag as compared
to without winglet and it is giving the best lift/drag ratio, iv) This winglet
design is capable to reduce induced drag force and convert wing tip
vortices to additional thrust which will save cost by reducing the usage of
fuel, noise level reduction and increase the efficiency of the aircraft
engine.
Computational Investigation of Inviscid Flow
over a Wing With Multiple Winglets ISSN:2393-8447
Multiple winglets configurations reduces the wing
induced drag.
Dihedral spread of the winglets improves lift by taking some
of the winglets away from the wing plane, and redistributing
the tip vortex into multiple vortices that do not merge in the
near wake, thereby reducing the effective downwash at the
wing plane.
