Simulation flat plate airfoil

Hi, I’m Harry, I’m currently doing research for my final thesis project on designing a windmill water pump, for the configuration I used is a flat plate type airfoil, after I tried using a flat plate type airfoil the results couldn’t be simulated, for that I want to ask how to do a flat plate airfoil simulation so that it can be simulated on qblade?

Hi Harry,

plat plates cannot be modeled in XFoil – however in the literature you can easily find lift/drag/moment polars for flap plates – I would believe there are also somewhat analytical formulas to get to the coefficients. Importing the coefficients into QBlade is then an easy task.

BR,

David
