A comparative airfoil study was used to determine if this particular transonic airfoil is prone to abrupt shock movement, resulting in increased regions of separation.In Copyright2-D flow separationdevice deflectiontransonic airfoilshock movementThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-01132002-212222/
