T HE present experiment investigates the interaction of canard and wing vortices and their effect on the lifting wing's flowfield turbulence and Reynolds stresses. Spanwise wing blowing was used to enhance the leading edge vortex and alter the vortex trajectory in an effort to keep it locked to the wing's leading edge for lift enhancement. The turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress values, obtained by using hot film anemometers, illustrate the vortex structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
