This is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of a NACA 63-021 airfoil section with sinusoidal leading-edge tubercles. This new airfoil design was inspired by the shape of a humpback whale's fin. This design is patented by the WhalePower company. This CFD was performed for an introductory level CFD course at the University of Houston.
How can you patent something you copy from nature??
