Abstract
A computer program has been developed to solve the low speed flow
around airfoils with highly separated flow. A new flow model, which
was suggested by Zumwalt , included all of the major physical features
in the separated region. It was suggested by experimental airfoil
studies made in the WSU low speed wind tunnel. Flow visualization tests
also were made which gave substantiation to the validity of the model.
The computation involves the matching of the potential flow, boundary layer and flows in the separated regions.
