[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.

[i]Hinfinity control synthesis with antisaturation compensator [/i]
In the paper a technique for dealing with the saturation of an [i]H[sub]infinite[/sub][/i] control is proposed. This is a two-step method which extends the approach considered by the author in some recent works and cons...
Nearest Wall Flows – the Genuine Turbulence
Traditionally, the wall-bounded flows are boundary-layer like flows where the velocity gradients normal to the wall u/y are very large and the velocity monotonously increases from zero to about the velocity free flow,...
An Interpretation of the “Black Energy” in Universe by Using a Hydro-Dynamical Analogy with Newton Gravity
There are arguments proving that what we see now as “normal energy” (including the equivalent mass-energy) represents only 5% of the total energy of the Universe [1]. The rest is invisible meaning that no widely accepted...
Determining the sensitivity of Data Envelopment Analysis method used in airport benchmarking
In the last decade there were some important changes in the airport industry, caused by the liberalization of the air transportation market. Until recently airports were considered infrastructure elements, and they were...
Nonlinear Lifting-Line Model using a Vector Formulation of the Unsteady Kutta-Joukowski Theorem
In this paper, a vector form of the unsteady Kutta-Joukowski theorem is derived and then used in the formulation of a general Lifting-Line Model capable of analysing a wide range of engineering problems of interest. The...
