Lift of the nose droop airfoil

Abstract

A model for the potential circulation flow around nose droop airfoil has been proposed. The solution is obtained for the flow of incompressible ideal fluid. The Complex Variable Function Theory, Method of Discrete Vortices(MDV) and numerical-analytical method (NAM) are applied. Dependence of the lift on the angle of attack, relative length of the nose droop and its angle of deflection is obtained.
