We got the same pattern of results throughout the simulation.

We observed an increase in pressure


when we used a higher angle of attack. The change in pressure is significant at the space between the
trailing edge and our high lift device, a fowler flap. Pressure is recorded to be the greatest in that area.
Vortices are seen to be broader and stronger as air passes through the fowler flap. The addition of the
fowler flap to the airfoil indicates more proficiency, as higher speed air feeds at the bottom portion of
the wings, and it gets redirected to the top part of the flap, which then creates wider and bigger
vortices. Fowler flaps generate more lift, which is a valuable addition in larger aircraft or jets.
