A very effective means to avoid the drag penalties and nonlinear behavior of lift and moment coefficients, caused by laminar separation bubbles, are turbulators. Airfoils with reflexed mean lines (as used on flying wing models) suffer stronger from the low Reynolds number effects, because the reflex adds to the pressure gradient in their boundary layer. |
