Flat Back Trailing Edge Experimental Data

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the search for experimental data on flat back airfoils, including details about experimental setups and initial flow parameters. The context is academic, specifically related to a thesis project.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests experimental data on flat back airfoils, including details about the experimental setup and flow parameters for their thesis.
  • Another participant suggests that a quick online search can yield relevant papers, providing a link to one such document.
  • A subsequent reply points out that the linked document contains computational data rather than experimental data.
  • Another participant emphasizes the importance of thorough research, suggesting that checking references in relevant papers could lead to finding actual experimental data.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the availability of experimental data, and there are differing opinions on the effectiveness of online searches for finding such data.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the potential reliance on the quality and relevance of sources found through online searches, as well as the distinction between computational and experimental data.

Does anybody have any experimental data on flat back airfoils. I would like to know the experimental data, experimental setup and initial flow parameters etc. In case if you find it from a report I would be glad if you can give some information regarding the report, such as author, report name, publisher etc. as this is for my thesis.

The document seems to contain computational data not experimental data. Thanks anyway.
 
The important point, which you missed, is that Googling for 5 seconds produced a paper that was relevant. Check the references in the paper and see what it references. Check other things that pop up on Google Scholar and do the same with their references. If there exists experimental data, it won't take long to dig it up if you know what you are doing.
