ESDU 93026
Vortex generators for control of shock-induced separation. Part 3: examples of applications of vortex generators to aircraft.
Abstract:
ESDU 93026 illustrates by case studies the use of the information in Parts 1 and 2 on the use of vortex generators to control shock-induced separation. The examples are the control of internal noise by the application of vortex generators on the forward cabin roof of a business aircraft (Gulfstream III), the control of separation associated with a three-shock pattern near the tip of a highly swept and tapered model wing in a wind-tunnel, and the improvement of the buffet manoeuvre boundary on a straight wing interceptor aircraft of the fifties (Avro Canada CF-100). In each case the geometric details of the arrays of vortex generators tested are provided, the results obtained are described, and the aerodynamic principles involved that influence those results are assessed.Indexed under:
