3to 200x10 3 and angles of attack from 0° to 18°. These data were used to characterize the separation bubble and determine lift coefficients. From these results, two distinct regions in the lift curves can be identified: a region of rapid and linear growth of the lift coefficients at low angles of attack and a region of more gradual and linear growth at higher pre-stall angles. Furthermore, the slope of the lift curve in each region is found to be linked to the rates of change in separation, transition, and reattachment locations with the angle of attack. These findings are substantiated by an analysis of the available experimental data for a NACA 0012 airfoil.
