Types of Flaps
The following section shows the results of airflow's occurring around an 7 types of airfoils, pressure contours are presented to show the difference of pressure difference above and below the airfoil. All the tested configurations where done at a speed of 30 meters per second inflow.

Double Slotted Flap with Leading Edge Slat
This airfoil configuration is interesting and shows how much pressure build up can be achieves, the set back of the use of such a configuration is its complexity. With complexity comes problems.
It is interesting to see the occurring vector fields around the airfoil.
Zooming in to the frontal section where the slat is and seeing the occurring flow pattern.
Zooming into the mid section of the airfoil and seeing the circulation zone occurring embedded inside the wing.
Zooming into the last section of intrest shows how the flow is speed-ed up before going over the upper section of the airfoil.
