Wake deceleration of a racecar multielement airfoil in ground effect
… downforce is produced from the inverted multielement wings at the front and the rear of the car. While such a high-lift system is capable of producing high downforce as a result of the interaction between flows around adjacent elements, there may exist off-the-surface flow reversal, …

Wake bursting: a computational and experimental investigation for application to high-lift multielement airfoil design
… research efforts to study wake bursting over a multielement airfoil are lacking a detailed study of the burst wakes in a wide range of spatial coordinates. In addition, no thorough comparison between the experimentally-captured data and computational simulations of a high-lift multielement …

Computational analysis of multielement airfoils for wind turbines
Multielement airfoil configurations have shown promise in improving the aerodynamic and structural characteristics of the inboard section of megawatt-scale wind turbine blades by increasing the lift coefficients and lift-to-drag ratios. Steady-state, two-dimensional CFD calculations were carried …

Experimental investigation of multielement airfoils for large-scale wind turbines
Experimental results for high-lift multielement airfoils for application to megawatt-scale wind turbines are presented in this thesis. Two different airfoil configurations tested were designed for the inboard section of a 10 MW-scale wind turbine. The airfoil systems were designed as an airfoil …
