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.
