[b]Analysis of low Reynolds number flow past Gurney flap[/b]

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 4

Abstract

The trailing edge region of a single element wing fitted with Gurney flap at low Reynolds numbers has been studied. The complex flow separation phenomena on airfoils with Gurney flap at low Reynolds numbers have some specific features as the separation on set and reattachment locations and the streamline pattern. A detailed study shows the influence of the size of flap on the stall behaviour and on the aerodynamic characteristics.
