Control of Leading-Edge Vortices With Suction.
Abstract
Several control techniques have been applied in order to control leading-edge vortices at high angle of attack. The purpose of these control techniques is to influence the strength and structure of the vortices, to generate rolling moment, and to delay vortex breakdown. Since the vorticity of the leading-edge vortices originates from the separation point along the leading-edge, control of development of the shear layer has been chosen as a control strategy in several investigations: blowing and suction in the tangential direction along a rounded leading-edge.
