Description:
A computerized analytical model of a multi-component airfoil in viscous, subsonic flow has been developed. The model, representing attached flow, defines viscous pressure distributions, lift, moments, and local boundary-layer properties on each element of an arbitrarily arranged slotted airfoil. The final viscous solution is obtained by an iterative technique for successively combining an inviscid solution with boundary-layer displacement thicknesses. Ordinary boundary-layers include laminar, transition, and turbulent types. A significant feature of the program is an analytical model representing the merging of the upper surface boundary layer with the slot efflux. Typical correlations with experiment are provided and program applications are discussed.
