An Experimental Investigation of Vortex Flow Control for High Lift Generation.
Abstract
An experimental research program was conducted to investigate methods of improving the performance characteristics of low-aspect ratio, swept-wing surfaces in the post-stall region. Wind tunnel tests were conducted with an unmodified wing panel and with snags, strakes and combinations thereof affixed to the panel. The prediction of changes in the performance characteristics by simplified theoretical analyses is discussed with regard to the observed complexity of the flow field produced by the vortex generators.
