Numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the characteristics of leading-edge vortex core axial velocity over two delta wings with leading edge swept angles Λ =50°and 76°, respectively. It is obtained that Reynolds number has the most important effect on the axial velocity of the primary leading-edge vortex core. At Reynolds numbers larger than 105, the jet-like flow of the vortex core is the most common type for both the large and the moderate swept delta wings. While if Reynolds number decreases to 103―104, the core axial velocity distributions for these two delta wings present the wake-like profile for all angles of attack considered in the present investigation.
