Is fluid flows across the airfoil with a backward facing step?(a) False(b) TrueThe question was asked in final exam.This intriguing question originated from The Symmetric Airfoil topic in division Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct option is (b) True

To elaborate: The fluid flows across the AIRFOIL with a backward facing step, a vortex region which has a lower PRESSURE will be CREATED. This will REDUCE the wake region of the symmetric airfoil. The idea of the backward facing step airfoil originates from the idea of dimples on the golf ball where the dimples induce the CREATION of a small vortex region.
