Delta wings with shock-free cross flow

Experimental Investigation of Asymmetry of Vortex Flow Over Single Delta Wings

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 a...

A New Simple Analytical Model for Flow Analysis Over Slender Delta Wings

Investigation of the Normal Force Characteristics of Slender Delta Wings with Various Rhom bit Cross-Sections in Subsonic Conical 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...

Experimental Investigation of the Positions of the Leadir/g-Edge Vortices above Slender Delta Wings with Various Rhombic Cross-Sections in Subsonic Conical Flow

The positions of the centres of the leading-edge vortices above four slender wings have been located at several angles of incidence using a Kiel tube probe, and measured using a mutual inductance method of &stance measurement. This method was developed for use in this experiment to provide accurate information about the position of a probe in the flow field by measuring the mutual inductances b...
