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.}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Hydrodynamics, Numerical Methods, Hydrodynamic Profiles, Hydrodynamic Profiles Calculation, Naval Wind Tunnel, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Aerodynamic Forces} }
