Abstract

SummaryA method which can be used for the design of blown or unblown wing sections is described in this paper. A brief description of a variety of theoretical methods for computation of different fluid flow phenomena encountered on high-lift wing systems is presented. The most significant type of viscous flow - a confluent boundary layer flow, which is present on the upper surface of the flap, the vane and the main component of a high-lift system – is described and its importance to the performance of high-lift systems is illustrated. Results of computation of pressure distribution, boundary-layer characteristic, and lift coefficient for two-dimensional high-lift systems are compared with experimental data in order to establish the validity and limitations of the method.
