Obstacle-Induced Flow Recirculation

Abstract

The results of a series of tests studying obstacle induced flow recirculation are presented. A small scale rotor creates a slipstream which impinges on a ground plane and then encounters an obstacle. The principal test technique is that of flow visualization using sawdust particles, but in addition some power measurements are made.
