\({Re_x}_{cr}\) is the ...

 

critical Reynoldys Number. It is the Reynolds number at \(x_{cr}\) where the boundary layer becomes turbulent

\(x_{cr}\) is ...

the critical value where the boundary layer becomes turbulent

Name the two major consequences of flow separation

1. drastic loss of lift

2. major increas in drag, caused by pressure drag due to separation

Name the two sources of drag due to viscous effect

1. Skin friction

2. pressure drag due to separation

The moment about the aerodynamic center of an airfoil is ...

The quarter chord point is for low-speed subsonic airfoils close to the ...

aerodynamic center

\(c_L\) is a function of

shape of the airfoil, angle of attack, Reynolds-Number

angle of attack is the angel between the relative wind and ...

The Reynolds number has a big influence when the airfoil is in  ...

Profiles with positive camber have a ... \(c_{m,c/4}\)

Lift of an Airfoil is always to be considered as ....

Lift per unit span

Airfoil:

The Drag varies alot with different .... because ....

Reynold Numbers, the drag of a slender aerodynamic shape is mainly skin friction drag

The center of pressure is the point where ...

Which profile is the thickest?

The Prandtl-Glauert correction

takes the effects of compressibility between 0.7> \(M_{\infty}\)>0.3 into account

The critical Mach number for a wing decreases when

thicker airfoils have a ... \(M_{crit}\) than thin ones

\(c_p\) can by definition not be ....

Wing tip vortices are formed because

The pressure at the bottom of the wing is higher then on the top. Consequently there is some tendency for the air to flow around the wing tips

As the aspect ratio is increased

induced drag is ... for an elliptical wings
