Attachment Line Data 12, 16, 24 degrees


First the disclaimer: there are not enough pressure ports or films on the slat to give a great deal of confidence in the analysis. The attachment line locations as predicted from the experimental pressure ports are estimated to be located at:

The above is  FINAL DATA

The rough estimation of the uncertainty in the attachment line location is discussed here.   If we assume that the best estimate is that made when using a CFD solution that closely matches the pressure ports, then the uncertainty in the location is approximately 5% of the slat chord (cs = 5 inches).  As shown in the discussion though, poorly place ports can result in a difference of 10%cs.  The effect of the location of the attachment line and the number and placement of the pressure ports is discussed here.  As indicated there can be a large uncertainty in the calculation of Rbar.
