THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL VORTEX FLOW EXPERIMENT (VFE-2): RESULTS OF THE FIRST PHASE 2003 - 2008

摘要

At the end of the RTO-phase of the Second International Vortex Flow Experiment (VFE-2) the up to now achieved experimental and numerical results on the vortical flow about a delta wing with sharp and blunt leading edges are summarized, and special attention is called to the present status of knowledge. Some problems, which could not be solved within VFE-2, are also mentioned. The needs for further investigations are stressed in an outlook, and the continuation of the research is indicated.
