*This conclusion, described by Liebeck, is easily derived if Stratford'scriterion or the laminar boundary layer method of Thwaites is used. When a high-lift device, such as Gurney flap, is attached to an airfoil, the center of pressure displaces from the origin since effective camber varies due to the flap. This would cause separation and the maximumlift is achieved with an upper surface velocity just over 2U and a bit ofthickness to keep the lower surface near stagnation pressure.Ī more detailed discussion of this topic may be found in the section on high lift systems.
If the upper surface C p is more negative than -3.0, the perturbationvelocity is greater than freestream, which means, for a thin section, thelower surface flow is upstream. (Since the upper surface C p is specified, increasingthickness only reduces the lower surface pressures.) The thickest section at Re = 10 million is 57% thick, but of course, itwill separate suddenly with any angle of attack.įor maximum airfoil lift, the best recovery location ischosen and the airfoil is made very thin so that the lower surface producesmaximum lift as well. Such distributions are shown below for a Re of 5 million.Note the difference between laminar and turbulent results.

The performance of the airfoil high-lift system is a very important factor in the overall design of a new aircraft wing. An Aeroacoustic Characterization of a Multi-Element High-Lift Airfoil. It may be shown that to maximize lift starting from a specifiedrecovery height and location, it is best to keep the boundary layer on theverge of separation*. element high lift generating airfoils in general aviation aircraft. The limit to this suction may be associatedwith compressibility effects, or may be imposed by the requirement thatthe boundary layer be capable of negotiating the resulting adverse pressurerecovery. To produce high lift coefficients, we require very negative pressures onthe upper surface of the airfoil. High Lift Airfoil Design High Lift Airfoil Design
