Abstract:By using unsteady numerical simulations, this paper concentrates on the aerodynamic characteristics of a twoelement airfoil consisting of a leading edge droop nose, a trailing edge hinge flap as well as a largely upward deflecting spoiler during braked ground run. The results show three points: ①The upward deflection of the spoiler increases drag remarkably. The drag coefficient of the twoelement airfoil is beyond 0.33, which is much larger than those of general multielement airfoils (the 30P30N threeelement airfoil no more than 0.05). ②The total lift coefficient of the twoelement airfoil is always negative during its periodic oscillation. The droop nose, the main wing and the spoiler provide negative lift, while the hinge flap provides positive lift. ③There is a pair of shedding vortices on the upper surface of the hinge flap, which grow, shrink, disappear and regenerate, while floating downstream during the lift/drag coefficient period.
