In this study, we are interested in the asymptotic modeling of the two-dimensional stationary flow of a viscous incompressible fluid around wing airfoil. The aim of the present paper is to use the method of matched asymptotic expansions to study the laminar boundary layer behavior over a NACA (National Aeronautic and Space Administration) airfoil. At large Reynolds number and using singular perturbations methods, we distinguish the problems inside and outside the boundary layer. These problems are coupled under asymptotic constraints according to the least degeneration principle. Using the affinity hypothesis for the velocity field in the boundary layer, and assuming that the transverse velocity is of order ꓳ(Re-1/2), we establish an approached composite solution, and follows the aerodynamic coefficients (drag and lift) are determined. The results obtained show that accurate modeling is possible for laminar incompressible flow. The predicted solutions obtained compare well with the results of a NACA43013 airfoil produced by the Ansys fluent.
