Experimental and Computational Investigation of Blunt Trailing-Edge Airfoils with Splitter Plates

Computational Investigation of Wings with Miniature Trailing Edge Control Surfaces

Miniature trailing edge effectors (MiTEs) are small flaps (typically 1% to 5% chord) actuated with deflection angles near 90 degrees. The small size, combined with little required power and good control authority enables the device to be used for both high bandwidth control and conventional attitude control. Numerous experiments and computational simulations have been conducted for two dimensio...

Aerodynamic Analysis of Trailing Edge Enlarged Wind Turbine Airfoils

Comparison of experimental and numerical work on three dimensional trailing edge modifications on airfoils

Miniflaps at the trailing edge of airfoils (i.e., Gurney flaps) change the Kutta condition and thus produce higher lift. Unfortunately, however, the drag also increases due to the flow separation downstream of such modified trailing edges. The present work describes investigations aimed at the stabilization of the wake flow in order to achieve drag reduction and a decrease of sound generation. ...

Two-dimensional Shock Sensitivity Analysis for Transonic Airfoils with Leading-Edge and Trailing-Edge Device Deflections

numerical simulation of turbulent flow around an airfoil with blunt trailing edge aerodynamic characteristics modification of this airfoil with base and aerodynamic cavity

this paper is a computational study of the behavior of aerodynamics  characteristics of an airfoil with blunt trailing edge and  studies the effects aerodynamic performance caused by modifications made to the trailing edge. blunt trailing edge airfoils are of interest in the engineering of large wind turbine blades because they allow for a strong structure with a high aerodynamic lift to struct...
