Lift Enhancement of a Stationary Wing in a Wake

open access: yesAIAA Journal, 2020
A stationary wing placed in the wake of a bluff body experiences lift enhancement. The quasi-periodic flow in the wake causes excitation of the separated flow in the poststall conditions.

Lift-enhancing tabs on swept, three-dimensional high-lift systems

14th Applied Aerodynamics Conference, 1996
A three-dimensional high-lift system was computationally simulated to investigate the effectiveness of lift-enhancing tabs on swept wings. The computations were performed by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on structured, overset grids, and the effects of turbulence were simulated using the one-equation Baldwin-Barth model.

Covert-inspired flaps for lift enhancement and stall mitigation

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2021
Even though unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are taking on more expansive roles in military and commercial applications, their adaptability and agility are still inferior to that of their biological counterparts like birds, especially at low and moderate Reynolds numbers.

Random Roughness Enhances Lift in Supersonic Flow

Physical Review Letters, 2007
We study the scattering of shock waves by a rough wedge using second-order perturbation analysis and stochastic simulations employed synergistically to cover a large range in correlation length A and amplitude epsilon of the profile roughness (with length d).

The mechanisms of lift enhancement in insect flight

Naturwissenschaften, 2004
Recent studies have revealed a diverse array of fluid dynamic phenomena that enhance lift production during flapping insect flight. Physical and analytical models of oscillating wings have demonstrated that a prominent vortex attached to the wing's leading edge augments lift production throughout the translational parts of the stroke cycle, whereas ...

Dry eye after LASIK enhancement by flap lifting

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2006
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To determine whether dry eye after LASIK recurs after LASIK enhancement. METHODS: A total of 63 eyes of 42 patients who underwent LASIK enhancement were included in this study. Subjective dry eye symptoms, tear break-up time (BUT), Schirmer test with anesthesia, fluorescein staining of the cornea, and corneal ...

Lift enhancement by an externally trapped vortex

10th Fluid and Plasmadynamics Conference, 1977
A theoretical study is made of the performance capabilities of a lift concept that utilizes a spanwise vortex over the upper surface of the wing. The vortex is generated by a vertical flap near the leading edge of the wing and maintained by suction through orifices in endplates at the wingtip.

Gurney flap—Lift enhancement, mechanisms and applications

Progress in Aerospace Sciences, 2008
Abstract Since its invention by a race car driver Dan Gurney in 1960s, the Gurney flap has been used to enhance the aerodynamics performance of subsonic and supercritical airfoils, high-lift devices and delta wings. In order to take stock of recent research and development of Gurney flap, we have carried out a review of the characteristics and ...
