AERODYNAMIC STUDY OF HIGH-LIFT DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS FOR TAKE-OFF AND LANDING CONDITIONS

摘要

The purpose of the present paper is to perform a study of high-lift configurations using CFD simulations. Such study is an attempt to establish guidelines for the analysis and design of such devices through computational aerodynamics techniques. The study is motivated by the realization that an increased understanding of high-lift systems plays an important role in designing the next generation transport aircraft. Studies ranged from bibliography review of the most up to date known techniques for high-lift configurations analysis, 2-D simulations based on the steady state Euler equations coupled to the boundary layer equations and, finally, simulations of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes codes for both 2-D and 3-D configurations.
