An experiment has been performed, using pulsed dye injection on an aerofoil in a Hele-Shaw cell. The purpose was to observe the form of the trailing-edge flow when the Reynolds number was high enough to permit separation and the initiation of a Kutta condition. The experiment provides a successful confirmation of the existence of a ‘viscous tail’ as predicted by Buckmaster (1970) although there is an unexplained quantitative discrepancy.

Experiments have been made on quasi two-dimensional sails of small camber and at small incidence. Four excess-length ratios have been tested at a Reynolds number of 1.2 x 105. The results for lift, tension, centre of lift, maximum camber and its position, and leading- and trailing-edge membrane angles have been compared with existing inviscid theories and show poor agreement in general. This is attributed to leading- and trailing-edge flow separations as indicated by supplementary flow-visualization experiments. The optimum incidences in particular are much greater than the theoretical value of 0°. Luffing occurs at slightly negative incidences and appears to be a dynamic instability. The highest lift-to-drag ratio obtained was 16.5 on a membrane with an excess-length ratio of 0.03.
