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.
Measurements of flow parameters for a two-dimensional turbulent wall jet are presented in a range of ratios of slot stream velocity to external stream velocity with pressure gradients, not previously investigated. These data are utilized for the calculations of wall shear and shear distribution by numerical methods. Relationships among the parameters are considered.
