Experimental Investigation of Asymmetry of Vortex Flow Over Single Delta Wings
author
Abstract:
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 above explanations. A wind tunnel investigation was, therefore, performed to study afresh this phenomenon. The flow over four sharp edged delta wings with aspect to a ratio ranging of 0.56 to 1.46 was investigated using flow visualization with laser light sheet and some surface pressure as well as hot wire measurement. The tests were conducted for angles of attack ranging from 0 to 30 deg and at a free-stream velocity of 30m/s corresponding to a Reynolds number of $4.8 times10^{5}$ based on the center line chord of the wing. The results obtained suggest the absence of asymmetry in the vortex core position in the flow.

Flow Control of Vortical Structures and Vortex Breakdown Over Slender Delta Wings
An understanding of the vortical structures and vortex breakdown is essential for the development of highly maneuverable and high angle of attack flight. This is primarily due to the physical limits these phenomena impose on aircraft and missiles at extreme flight conditions. In today’s competitive world, demands for more maneuverable and stealthy air vehicles have encouraged the development of...
full textThe leading-edge vortex of swift wing-shaped delta wings
Recent investigations on the aerodynamics of natural fliers have illuminated the significance of the leading-edge vortex (LEV) for lift generation in a variety of flight conditions. A well-documented example of an LEV is that generated by aircraft with highly swept, delta-shaped wings. While the wing aerodynamics of a manoeuvring aircraft, a bird gliding and a bird in flapping flight vary signi...
full textNumerical Investigation of Vortex Interaction in Pipe Flow
To discover the nonlinear characteristics of pipe flow, we simulated the flow as a sum of many vortex rings. As a first step, we investigated the nonlinear interaction among a maximum of three vortex rings. The pipe wall was replaced by many bound vortices. A free vortex ring moves right or left according to the radius, and that of a particular radius keeps the initial position. The energy of a...

Effects of static attitude and three different motions on vortex behavior and its breakdown over delta wings have been investigated. These motions include 1) harmonic oscillation or ramp-and-hold motion in roll at constant resultant angle of attack, 2) harmonic oscillation or ramp-and-hold in pitch and 3) coning at constant resultant angle of attack A basic 65° delta wing configuration was test...

An experimental study was performed to investigate the lift and drag coefficient of multiple wing. Most of the previous works carried out to increase the lift force and reduce the drag force having the more efficient and effective design. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect of multiple wings on lift and drag force. To perform this investigation a model of multiple wings is cons...
