Aerodynamic Analysis of Multi Element Airfoil



The High-lift capability of an aircraft, affecting take-off and landing performance and low-speed maneuverability, plays an important role in the design of military and commercial aircraft. Improvedhigh-lift performance can lead to increased range and payload as well asdecreased landing speed and field length requirements. The take-off configuration designed for a high lift-to-drag ratio (L/D) at moderate lift coefficient is different from the landing configuration designed for high maximum lift coefficient. Typical high-lift system for transport aircraft often consisting o f a basic wing with a leading-edge slat and trailing-edge flap elements is highly efficient aerodynamically, but at the expense of complex structure and expensive design and maintenance costs. Current design effects have focused on mechanically simpler which maximum lift occurs is about 23°, which is slightly larger than that of experiment.

The figures plot the pressure coefficient on the surface of the elements at 16 angles of attack comparing computational results againstexperimental results. As can be seen from the figure, computed pressure distribution is in very good agreement with measurements.
