Investigation of Aerodynamics Behaviors, Shape of Feathers on Traditional Turkish Archery

Abstract

In traditional Turkish archery, a feather is attached to the back of the arrows to prevent them from changing direction during flight after being shot. While these attached feathers ensure that the arrow flies on a smooth route after being shot, it causes aerodynamic factors that affect the movement of the arrow due to its friction with the air. In the study, the effects of the geometry parameters of the feathers in the traditional Turkish arrow on the aerodynamic factors were comparatively examined. To examine the movements of the arrows in the air, aerodynamic analyzes were carried out by using computational fluid dynamics CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for each arrow type, taking into account the changes in the flow drag force values. By examining the acoustic power level in decibel units, the performance of the arrows from the bow was evaluated in terms of range and sound, and the results obtained through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) were compared.
