Looking for Empirical Airfoil Stall Criteria
Looking for Empirical Airfoil Stall Criteria
(OP)
Greetings to all,
I am looking for information sources about airfoil empirical stall criteria, depending on Mach, Re and AoA. I had a book from Poutry some time ago and a student "missplaced" it.
Could anyone point me in the right direction? It's going to take me a few days to get a new book, in the meantime I would like to know if there is any source in the internet for my problem.
Kind Regards,
C.

The chapter on high life devices also is excellent.

If you want to know something about airfoil stall characteristics in the deep stall range, try hunting down the Sandia Labs tests on airfoils they were using on wind turbines back in the 1970's, because their egg-beater blades would experience a full 360 degree rotation of their angle of attack.
If you're looking for more airfoils than are covered in Abbott and von Doenhoff's book, then look up the UIUC website with 100's more airfoils, wind tunnel tests, and most at rather low reynold's numbers, too.
