| Summary: | A theoretical and experimental investigation is undertaken to airfoil occur mostly at the leading edge. Carefully airfoil section with a deployable 20% trailing edge flap and an upstream vortex generator to produce and simulate BVI caused by BVI events on the pressure distribution over the coefficients relative to the perturbations caused by the BVI determine the effects of an actively deployable trailing edge edge flap deployments during BVI events resulted in an edge flap. Experimental tests were conducted using a 2-D effects on the pressure distributions which were not present event alone. events resulted in a reduction of this pressure disturbance. events. Results of this study showed that the disturbances flap on the disturbances created during blade-vortex However, the trailing edge flap deployment had additional in the purely BVI related disturbance. As a result, trailing increase in the perturbation of the lift and moment interactions (BVI). The theoretical model consists of an provisions for deformable geometry to incorporate a trailing synchronized deployment of the trailing edge flap during BVI unsteady panel code based on potential flow theory with wind tunnel setup incorporating a pressure instrumented |
