Two numerical applications are proposed for the study of wing control surfaces. The first one attempts to predict an aileron efficiency using the patched grid meshing technique combined with a mesh deformation tool to deflect the aileron. The second one deals with spoiler deployment and involves the Chimera technique, which allows the spoiler to be independently meshed for each deflection.
