My plan is a rounded cuff of 1.5m radius followed by a hinged door at 14-18 deg. It might make sense to put vortex generators right in from of the hinge.
I'm curious why you are planning curved panels when testing in a full size NASA wind tunnel by a national lab showed better results for a simple straight panel.

Seems like a lot of work for less return.
