Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Vortex Flow Over a Sharp Edged Delta Wing; with and without Sideslip

摘要

Wind tunnel experiments were performed on a sharp edged biconvex delta wing of unit aspect ratio, with and without sideslip. Laserlight sheet and oil flow visualization, as well as total pressure traverses served to establish the evolution of the primary and secondary vortex systems with sideslip. In addition, surface pressure distribution and force balance measurements were performed.
