    The

    phenomena

    just

    were thought

    to

    have thefollowing

    explanation:

    ith theairfoilproducingpositivelift

    near

    an

    angle

    of

    attack

    of

    l80,

    the

    flow

    over

    the

    sharpairfoil

    edge produces

    a

    small

    separated

    flow

    region

    ontheupper

    surface,after

    which

    the

    flow reattaches

    to

    thesurface;

    the

    boundary

    layer

    is

    turbulent

    from

    ment

    to the

    downstream

    separationpoint.

    able

    gradient,

    which

    exists

    on the

    surface

    for

    a

    great

    distance

    from

    the

    upstreamedge

    of the

    airfoil,

    is

    conducive to

    a

    laminar

    boundary

    layer

    from

    theupstreamedgeoftheairfoilto theseparation

    point.

    theturbulent

    the

    such

    circumstances,

    the

    flow

    inthe

    vicinity

    of

    the

    downstream

    edgeof

    the

    airfoil

    would

    be

    somewhat

    similar to that overanairfoilhaving

    The

    sudden

    change

    (fig.

    4(b))

    froman

    effective positiveflap

    deflection

    to

    an

    effective

    negative

    flap

    deflection

    would

    occur,

    of

    course,

    when

    theboundary

    layer

    on

    the

    lower

    surface

    becameturbulent

    and

    he

    results

    from

    the rathercomplicatedrelationship

    between

    aroundthe

    and

    the

    however,

    the

    upon

    the

    shape

    of theairfoilbutalso uponthe extentand location

    of

    On

    the basis

    of

    the

    preceding

    explanation,

    the

    presence

    of

    turbulent

    boundary

    layers

    on

    both

    theupperand

    lowersurfaces
