Keywords: convex corner, concave corner, incremental lift

An experimental study on the compressible convex-corner and concave-corner flows was conducted, which is related to the simplified model of upper and lower deflected surfaces. Substantial increase in lift-induced-drag coefficient is associated with the separated flow on the upper surface.
