AeroLab Midterms

A type of flow with mass diffusion, has viscosity (friction), and experiences thermal conduction.

• COMPRESSIBLE FLOW

• INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW

• VISCOUS FLOW

• INVISCID FLOW

Flow in which the density of the fluid elements can change from point to point.

• COMPRESSIBLE FLOW

• INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW

• VISCOUS FLOW

• INVISCID FLOW

It is a type of flow that has no mass diffusion, no viscosity (friction), and no thermal conduction.

• COMPRESSIBLE FLOW

• INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW

• VISCOUS FLOW

• INVISCID FLOW

A hinged portion of the trailing or leading edge that can be deflected downwards and thus create a camber increase.

• FLAPS

• SPLIT FLAPS

• SLOTTED FLAPS

• KRUEGER FLAPS

The flap forms part of the lower surface of the trailing edge of the wing, with the upper surface contour not affected when the flap is lowered.

• FLAPS

• SPLIT FLAPS

• SLOTTED FLAPS

• KRUEGER FLAPS

A type of flap that travels backwards and downwards, giving initially an increase in wing area, and then an increase in camber.

• FOWLER FLAP

• KRUEGER FLAPS

• VARIABLE CAMBER LEADING EDGE FLAP

• SLATS

The camber of a leading-edge flap can be increased to improve efficiency by offering a better leading-edge profile.

• FOWLER FLAP

• KRUEGER FLAPS

• VARIABLE CAMBER LEADING EDGE FLAP

• SLATS

It is a small auxiliary airfoil fixed to the wing 's leading edge.

• FOWLER FLAP

• KRUEGER FLAPS

• VARIABLE CAMBER LEADING EDGE FLAP

• SLATS

An airfoil that is also known as cambered airfoils. It has a different upper and lower surfaces such that the chord line is placed above with large curvature.

• SYMMETRICAL AIRFOIL

• ASYMMETRICAL AIRFOIL

• SUPERCRITICAL AIRFOIL

• CONVENTIONAL AIRFOIL

It is an airfoil with mirrored upper and lower surfaces such that the chord line and mean camber line are the same producing no lift at zero angle of attack.

• SYMMETRICAL AIRFOIL

• ASYMMETRICAL AIRFOIL

• SUPERCRITICAL AIRFOIL

• CONVENTIONAL AIRFOIL
