structural effect of camber and bicamber airfoil by using
FEM analysis.

The transport of a scalar quantity
represented by the integral equation:
in a continuum is

The terms in this equation are, from left to right, the
transient term, the convective flux, the diffusive flux and
the volumetric source term.
Discrete Form:-
Applying the above equation to a cell-centered control
volume for cell-0, the following is obtained:
V = cell volume
Bicamber’s maximum thickness is 0.12m and maximum
thickness position is 0.16m from leading edge
