Abstract The European H2020 project UHURA is focusing on the unsteady flow behaviour around high-lift systems and will first time deliver a deeper understanding of critical flow features at new types of high-lift devices of transport aircraft during their deployment and retraction together with a validated numerical procedure for its simulation. UHURA performed detailed experimental measurements in several wind tunnels to obtain a unique data set for validation purposes of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, including detailed flow measurements by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and other optical measurement technologies. Advanced CFD methods promising significant improvements in the design lead time are validated against this database to obtain efficient and reliable prediction methods for design.
