In the present research, the effect of incorporating protuberances in the leading edge to the aerofoil NACA-0012 was studied. For the simulations, two profiles were designed: parametric profile (NACA 0012) and modified profile (0012-MOD), with help of CAD Program Inventor Professional 2016. The 0012...
