How to find the velocity of air flow around the aerofoil?

[QUOTE="rcgldr, post: 6061999, member: 17595"] I'm not sure what aerodynamic model you are using. In order for the air to remain attached (to the boundary layer) around the curved upper surface, there will be a pressure gradient where pressure decreases perpendicular to the relative flow, with the lowest pressure just outside the boundary layer. The air will also accelerate in the direction of relative flow towards the low pressure areas that coexist with the curvature of the flow. Again assuming the flow remains reasonably attached, then the air flowing past the trailing edge will have a downwards component coexistent with lift. I don't know how you are supposed to calculate lift, but it's complicated, and calculating drag is even more complicated. [/QUOTE]
