Abstract The aerodynamic performance of structural panels is an important consideration in applications where wind-induced forces influence structural stability, durability, and overall performance. This study presents a comparative numerical investigation of the lift force response of conventional and optimized panel designs subjected to airflow at an angle of attack (AOA) of 0° under two different inlet velocities of 5 m/s and 25 m/s. Time-dependent lift forces were evaluated to assess the influence of panel optimization on aerodynamic loading under both normal and critical flow conditions.
The results indicate that the conventional panel experiences significantly higher lift forces than the optimized panel at both airflow velocities. At an inlet velocity of 5 m/s, the conventional panel exhibits a maximum reverse lift force of approximately 400 N, which decreases to about 220 N in the positive direction. In contrast, the optimized panel records a reduced maximum reverse lift force of approximately 250 N and a positive lift force of nearly 100 N. Under the critical airflow velocity of 25 m/s, the conventional panel develops a peak reverse lift force of approximately 6000 N before decreasing to around 700 N, whereas the optimized panel limits the maximum reverse lift force to nearly 2000 N, although noticeable fluctuations are observed throughout the simulation period.
The comparative analysis demonstrates that the optimized panel effectively reduces aerodynamic lift forces and associated loading under varying flow conditions. The substantial reduction in peak lift forces suggests improved aerodynamic stability and enhanced structural performance compared with the conventional design. These findings highlight the effectiveness of panel optimization as a viable approach for minimizing wind-induced aerodynamic loads and improving the reliability of structures exposed to different airflow environments.
