CFD analysis of an airfoil produces results such as lift and drag forces which determines the ability of an airfoil. In this paper a transonic flow will be modelled over a NACA 0012 airfoil for which experimental data has been published, so that a comparison can be made. The flow to be considered is compressible and turbulent and the solver used is the density based implicit solver, which gives good results for high speed compressible flows. The results show that the predicted lift, drag and pressure coefficients are in good agreement with experimental data.}}
