Experimental Investigation of the Influence of a Reverse Delta Type Add-on Device on the Flap-tip Vortex of a Wing
3RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MECHANICAL, AUTOMOTIVE AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERING 2016(2017)
Abstract
Particle Image Velocimetry was used in a low speed wind tunnel to investigate the effect of interactions of vortices produced by an outboard flap-tip of a half wing (NACA 23012 in landing configuration) and a slender reverse delta type add-on device, placed in the proximity of the outboard flap-tip, on the upper surface of the half wing. This work investigates the characteristics of the vortex interactions generated downstream in planes perpendicular to the free stream direction at a chord-based Reynolds number of Re-c = 2.74x10(5). It was found that the add-on device significantly reduces the tangential velocity magnitude and enlarges the vortex core of the resultant vortex by up to 36.1% and 36.8%, respectively.
