Why pressure distribution on the upper and lower surface are the same for

NACA0015 airfoil at zero AOA?

Why there is a difference in pressure distribution between the upper and lower

surface for cases you simulated in this Task?

Which sides (upper or lower surface) has higher pressure, and why?

Do you see the difference in pressure (between upper and lower surface)

changes with AOA? Why?

Describe the pressure distribution on the upper surface by identifying the

stagnation point, suction peak, and adverse pressure region.

What is Cp?

How do we compute the lift coefficient of the aerofoil from the Cp distribution?
