Abstract: Because of the complexities in both configurations and flow phenomena,there are great difficulties in the numerical simulation of flow about wing with lift-enhancing devices and control surfaces.By using cell-centered finite volume method,it deals with Renolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations on multi-block structural grids generated by elliptic method.Two kinds of patching schemes,point-to-point and patch-on-common-surface,are employed to establish the information exchange among blocks.In the later one,the overlap cell area weighted interpolation is used to guarantee the conservation.Ramshaw algorithm is also used to pre-determine the overlap areas.Flow fields about multi-element airfoils and delta wing with deflected flap are computed with the present method.Numerical results are all in good agreement with experiment data.Flow field visualization shows the present method has good resolution in flow details.

Key words: multi-block grid, point-to-point patch, surface patch, multi-element airfoil, control surface
