Induced Angle of Attack given Circulation at Origin Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Induced Angle of Attack = Circulation at Origin/(2*Wingspan*Freestream Velocity)
α_i = Γ_o/(2*b*V_∞)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Induced Angle of Attack - (Measured in Radian) - The Induced Angle of Attack is the angle between the local relative wind and the direction of freestream velocity.
Circulation at Origin - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Circulation at Origin is the circulation when the origin is taken at the center of the bound vortex.
Wingspan - (Measured in Meter) - The Wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip.
Freestream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Freestream Velocity is the velocity of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body, that is before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down or compress the air.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Circulation at Origin: 14 Square Meter per Second --> 14 Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Wingspan: 2340 Millimeter --> 2.34 Meter (Check conversion here)
Freestream Velocity: 15.5 Meter per Second --> 15.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

α_i = Γ_o/(2*b*V_∞) --> 14/(2*2.34*15.5)

Evaluating ... ...

α_i = 0.192996967190516

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.192996967190516 Radian -->11.0579116788434 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

11.0579116788434 ≈ 11.05791 Degree <-- Induced Angle of Attack

How does angle of attack affect the airfoil?

An increase in the angle of attack results in an increase in both lift and induced drag, up to a point. Too high an angle of attack (usually around 17 degrees) and the airflow across the upper surface of the aerofoil become detached, resulting in a loss of lift, otherwise known as a Stall.
