Purpose: To estimate effects on maximum and post-stall performance when splitting a curved thin wing into several elements.
Here I detail 2D simulations on multiple-element arc wings. The Reynolds number is 1.3 million.

The lift coefficient curve seems to have several local minima. These could be associated with local flow separation on a single element. Further testing will be done to provide more evidence.
