Numerical analysis of airfoils with gurney flaps at low reynolds number

A two-dimensional numerical investigation was performed to determine the effect of a Gurney flap on symmetric and cambered airfoils at very low Reynolds number. A Gurney flap is a device consisting of a small tab attached at the trailing edge and perpendicular to the chord line of the airfoil. Origi...
