ENHANCEMENT OF CL Table 2 shows that by adding flap to the clean airfoil an increase in the value of Lift Coefficient takes place. This has been depicted graphically in Figure 5(b) which clearly shows that the graph for flap airfoil is above the clean airfoil. Figure 5(a) which is a graphical representation of experimental data in [1] also shows similar variation as Figure 5(b) hence validating the results obtained in this paper.

VELOCITY AND PRESSURE CONTOURS OBTAINED AFTER SIMULATION Clean Airfoil • AOA= 00

• AOA = 180

The simulation of clean airfoil at 00 and 180 showed that at AOA= 00 the flow remain attached to the airfoil surface as expected. But from 160 onwards the flow separation begins due to which the flow separates from the airfoil surface and a loss in value of CL is seen as depicted in Table 1. Flap Airfoil • AOA= 0
