The Walz wind vane model and its application to the simulation of flows with dead-air regions
Abstract
The Walz model, developed in 1939 to simulate the deadair region past airfoils with trailing-edge flaps, is summarized and its physical background and mathematical treatment are generalized. The fundamentals of the improved method for the calculation of pressure distributions on airfoils with deadair regions are outlined.
