Experiments have been performed at low speeds documenting certain broad aspects of hysteresis on a mildly swept wing under high-lift conditions. Aerodynamic load measurements were carried out at two values of incidence, 10.5 and 15.5 deg, and flap deflections of 20 and 30 deg, essentially under quasi-steady conditions. Two-dimensional particle image velocimetry (PIV) was utilized to measure the mean velocity vector field in the rear part of the wing and flap. These velocity measurements have revealed the complex nature of separated flows on the wing and flap. Also, in general, the slot flow angle determined by geometric considerations is very different from those actually inferred from PIV measurements.
