High lift configuration of a slotted natural laminar flow airfoil
… fore-element dumping velocity. In addition, a plain flap was incorporated into the aft element. Performance predictions for the new aft-element configurations were generated using the computational flow solver MSES, and four alternative aft-element riggings were selected for experimental …

An Investigation of the Dynamic Effects of Flap Deflection on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of an Airplane Wing Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
<p>Flaps are used to increase an airplane's lift and to adjust its stability and maneuverability. This study shows an application of STAR-CD, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, to an investigation of the dynamic effects of flap deflection on the lift, drag and moment …

A Study of the Design of Adaptive Camber Winglets
… conditions. Camber was altered via a simple plain flap deflection in the winglet, which produced a constant camber change over the winglet span. Hinge points were located at 20%, 50% and 80% of the chord and the trailing edge was deflected between -5° and +5°. Analysis was performed using a …

Experimental wind tunnel study of airfoils with large flap deflections at low Reynolds numbers
… numbers for four airfoils with trailing edge plain flaps in an attempt to understand the effects of Reynolds number, percent thickness (t/c), percent chord of flap (flap-chord ratio), and flap deflection on airfoil performance. The four airfoils used in this research were the AG40d-02r, …
