In an effort to validate computational fluid dynamics procedures for calculating flows around circulation control airfoils, the commercial flow solver FLUENT was utilized to study the flow around a general aviation circulation control airfoil. The results were compared to experimental and computational fluid dynamics results conducted at the NASA Langley Research Center. The current effort was conducted in three stages: 1. A comparison of the results for free-air conditions to those from experiments. 2. A study of wind-tunnel wall effects. and 3. A study of the stagnation-point behavior.
