| Abstract: | A study is made of the steady flow of an incompressible ideal fluid past a rectangular wing of infinite aspect ratio that has a protrusion on its leading edge. The protrusion is a triangular plate of small aspect ratio. It is assumed that flow separation occurs only from the side edges of the protrusion. An asymptotic solution to the problem is found for  = O( ), = o(1), where is the half-angle at the tip of the protrusion, and is the angle of attack. The results of numerical calculations are given.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 65–72, May–June, 1982.We are sincerely grateful to G. P. Svishchev for posing the problem and for interest in the work. |
