Abstract

The research explores aerodynamic flow properties which vary with changing angles in two forms of traditional South Indian weapon Valari. The paper focuses mainly on L-shaped and V-shaped designs to determine how different angular orientations affect aerodynamic performance by analysing stability and range as well as lift and drag characteristics. This investigation connects ancient indigenous skills with modern scientific knowledge through the combination of analytical analysis of the 2D Valari’s. Through interdisciplinary research scientists gain scientific understanding about a culturally important artefact while advancing current discussions around aerospace object design as well as sports engineering and biomimetic systems.
