    AnnotationThis paper focuses on a suppression of the flow separation, which occurs on a deflected flap, by means of vortex generators (VG's). An airfoil NACA 63A421 with a simple flap and vane-type vortex generators were used. The investigation was carried out by using experimental and numerical methods. The data from the numerical simulation of the flapped airfoil without VG's control were used for the vortex generator design. Two sizes, two different shapes and various spacing of the vortex generators were tested. The flow past the airfoil was visualized through two methods, namely oil and infrared thermography visualization. The lift curves for both cases without and with vortex generators were acquired for a lift coefficient improvement determination. . The experiments were performed in closed circuit wind tunnels with open and close test sections. The improvement was achieved for several cases by means all of the applied methods.
