Keywords: high lift, serrations, gurney flap

A two-dimensional experimental and numerical investigation was performed to determine the effect of different trailing edge treatment on the performance of a two-element high lift wing. Two trailing edge treatments were used in both main element and flap: a saw-tooth trailing edge and Gurney Flap and a combination of both
