Boundary Layer Separation and Reattachment Detection on Airfoils by Thermal Flow Sensors

A sensor concept for detection of boundary layer separation (flow separation, stall) and reattachment on airfoils is introduced in this paper. Boundary layer separation and reattachment are phenomena of fluid mechanics showing characteristics of extinction and even inversion of the flow velocity on...
