Thus, for NACA 6412 profile, we will calculate and com-pare the changes of values of the coefficient forces mentioned above. The calculation will be done both exper-imentally in a naval wind tunnel and with a computational fluid dynamics - CFD (ANSYS 13). These experimental and numerical approaches can be used to study finite scale naval profiles such as the rudder. %@ 2083-6473
