Flow analysis of airfoil with mechanical slat and flap using CFD

The usage of slats and flaps in airfoils may reduce the fuel consumption of airplanes and improve their performance as well. In terms of performance, it will increase the lift coefficient of the airfoil. Therefore, in this study, simulation works have been carried out to investigate the effect of va...
