Leading-edge-vortex augmentation in compressible flow

Vortex characteristics over delta wing subject to transient along-core blowing

“…Tkvella 1 and Wood and Robert 2 found that direct control of the vorticity fed as a result of the separation from the leading edge exerts a significant influence on the vortical structure up to an angle of attack (AOA) of 60 deg. Moreover, Bradley et al 3 and Campbell 4 showed that spanwise blowing can also generate a large increase in lift at high AOA at Mach numbers 0.35 and 0.75 for a lower sweep angle. Shi et al 5 and Visser et al 6 demonstrated the importance of the location and orientation of blowing in determining the position of vortex breakdown.…”
