Aerodynamic characteristics and flow field of delta wings with the canard

Aerodynamic characteristics of the wings and body of a dragonfly

The aerodynamic characteristics of the wings and body of a dragonfly and of artificial wing models were studied by conducting two types of wind-tunnel tests and a number of free-flight tests of gliders made using dragonfly wings. The results were consistent between these different tests. The effects of camber, thickness, sharpness of the leading edge and surface roughness on the aerodynamic cha...

Experimental Investigation of Asymmetry of Vortex Flow Over Single Delta Wings

It is generally believed that, on slender delta wings, there is a critical state at which strong asymmetric vortices are found along the leading edge on the lee-side of the delta wing. These asymmetric vortices can lead to high lateral forces even when slender delta wing is at the zero angle of yaw. Some experimental studies reported recently, cast considerable doubt as to the validity of the a...

the evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology

abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...

Design-Oriented Aerodynamic Analysis for Supersonic Laminar Flow Wings

The computation of boundary layer properties and laminar-to-turbulent transition location is a very complex problem, generally not undertaken in the context of aircraft design. Yet if an aircraft is to exploit the advantages of laminar flow and proper trade-offs between inviscid drag, structural weight, and skin friction are to be made, this is just what must be done. This paper summarizes a de...
