Application of the NLR Panel Method to a swept-wing/body combination with part-span flaps at low speed and comparison with experimental results

With the purpose of evaluating the adequacy of the NLR Panel Method with respect to the prediction of the flow around 3-D configurations with mechanical high-lift devices, potential flow calculations have been carried out for a swept-wing/body combination with part-span flaps at low speed. Several configurations as well as several calculation...

Experimental investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of a wing propulsion jets

With the intent to test the qualities of the theoretical models used in two different calculation methods, pressure distributions have been measured on a simple half model wing-in-jet combination. The position of the jets relative to the wing was varied, mainly in a plane perpendicular to the span. Jet velocities of 1, 2 and 3 times the tunnel...
