Publisher Summary

Recently, numerous researches have been conducted about the improvement of the aerodynamic characteristics of existing airfoils using flow control. These pressure variations are induced by the enhancement of circulation related to the extra downward turning of the flow generated behind the gurney flap. The characteristic boundary condition was imposed at the far-field boundary and the no-slip isothermal boundary condition was applied at the solid surface. When ...
