Figure 3 (top) also shows the evolution of β on the pressure side, which exhibits an interesting trend due to the curvature of the lower side of the NACA4412 profile, starting from a very mild FPG, reaching APG conditions at x p s / c ≃ 0.25, and then returning to the very mild FPG region with a local minimum at x p s / c ≃ 0.4.
