Study of Vortex Breakdown and Pitch up on a Compound Delta Wing

摘要

This paper discusses the calculation of mean pressure on a compound delta wing configuration and its variance to understand vortex breakdown and pitch up on the setup. The configuration of the compound delta wing being used was 50°-60°. The data was used to find the location of vortex breakdown and pitch up over the compound delta wing. It was done using calibration of different pressure ports on span and chord wise location of the wing. The pressure values were then converted to Coefficient of Pressure (Cp) for proper study and comparison.
