Technical evaluation report on the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel symposium on improvement of aerodynamic performance through boundary layer control and high lift systems

The symposium demonstrated the importance of research in the area of mechanical high-lift systems for transport aircraft to improve the total performance of current transports. Computational techniques are shown to provide new tools for high-lift design. With regard to drag reduction by laminar flow control it is concluded that the information...

Boundary layer measurements on a two-dimensional wing with flap and a comparison with calculations

Measurements were performed on a wing flap configuration, which was so designed that flow separations occur nowhere, apart from a small laminar separation bubble on the wing nose. The measurements comprise surface pressure measurements, boundary layer and wake traverses at 16 stations, and flow visualization tests to establish the presence of...
