Abstract: This study explores the aerodynamic performance of tandem NACA 4412 airfoils under the influence of a heated wake, focusing on lift and drag characteristics at a Reynolds number of 100000. The investigation combines computational simulations and experimental testing to analyse the impact of heated wake effects, boundary layer separation, and aerodynamic interactions between the airfoils. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is performed to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a tandem airfoil system under the effect of an unstable wake of a heated cylinder. Both airfoils feature NACA 4412 profiles, and the flow occurs in the ground effect zone with a high lift-to-drag ratio. The study focuses on three control parameters: angle of attack, gap height, and cylinder temperature. The downwash generated by the front airfoil leads to significant aerodynamic interference, affecting the overall performance of the tandem configuration. The primary objective is to enhance understanding of tandem airfoil aerodynamics under isothermal and heated conditions, contributing to the development of next- generation pico-aerial vehicles (PAVs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for thermal surveillance, marine monitoring, and firefighting applications.
