Abstract:Future civil aircrafts require simple, low-noise, and highly efficient trailing-edge flaps. In this study, a detailed numerical study for flap improvements using steady and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computations was conducted. A movable trailing edge (MTE) was applied to the main element as a passive flow control method to improve the traditional Fowler flap. A new concept of a backward seamless flap (BSLF) based on the MTE configuration is proposed, which can eliminate external fairings, simpli… Show more
