Table 8.

ΔC₂ and ΔC₅ for the four cases of the LES model used in Section 4.3. Other parameters of the LES model are the same as in Table 4 far Case 1 which is the base case.

Cases	Normal LES	Compliant LES	Right-stiffened LES	Right-more-stiffened LES
ΔC₂(kPa)	2.0	0	$0.5 (1 - H (- y))$	$2.0 (1 - H (- y))$
ΔC₅(kPa)	2.0	0	$0.5 (1 - H (- y))$	$2.0 (1 - H (- y))$
