Physical difference between airfoils flows -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

Tim Franke Guest Posts: n/a	Hello, I have a general question concerning airfoil flows. With different airfoils at the same angle of attack one gets different lift performance. Can anyone give a physical explanation what flow features change if you take an airfoil with a different profile to have higher lift ? Thanks, Tim
