Comments:
The external turbulence level appears to be high (6.8%) and should be probably taken into account for CFD (this point has to be clarified from the value of 1.068 given as the turbulence factor by Moir).
The data are limited to mean values, without any turbulent results and no velocity vectors provided. The analysis of the CFD results are limited to mean characteristics; for example, the effects of the physical models cannot be directly stated.
The presence in the experiments of a short laminar
bubble must be kept in mind while comparing CFD to experiments
Please identify Underlying Flow Regimes for this AC:
Flow around airfoils and blades. Wake/boundary layer interaction. Flow separation. Drag. Wakes. Laminar/turbulent transition. Boundary layers under various pressure gradients. Boundary layer under influence of free-stream turbulence.

Comments:
The QinetiQ computations fulfill the usual quality requirements, excepted the systematic study of the effects of grid refinements. However, several grids have been tested. The comparisons with experiments appear satisfactory. Most of the flow characteristics are captured. Lift coefficients can be advantageously be computed for industrial applications because small discrepancies in Cp can have different impacts on coefficients.

==='''Answers to the D29 L1T2 multi element airfoil'''===
1) The decision is positive.
2) 1 Top level check, comments:
a) 6.8 % comes from the paper from Moir where it is stated that “the tunnel turbulence factor is 1.068”. I interpret as 6.8%, but I should admit that this statement is somewhat misleading... can be interpreted as 1.068%? if such is the case, the precision in the numbers is strange!
b)The presence of a short buble is recognized. I assume that it is important for the physics. However, we can change the statement as “The presence in the experiments of a short laminar bubble must be kept in mind while comparing CFD to experiments”
3) Part 7: CFD1:
It is clear that if Cp’s are poerfectly computed, lift coefficient is oK. However, small dicrepancies between computations and measurements in term of Cp can induce significant differneces in term of integral coefficient; this will depen on the location of the discrepancies. This is why I suggest to compute coefficients (that is an easy task) to be safe.
4) Part 8: CFD:
The last sentence can be omitted (“more details...”.
