SummaryWater tunnel flow visualisation experiments on a slender delta wing have revealed some new phenomena connected with vortex breakdown. Vortex breakdown hysteresis has been found, there being two steady flow states at some incidences, one with breakdown on the wing and one without. The formation of vortex breakdown has been studied and found to be a non-axisymmetric instability. It is suggested that pressure gradient plays a more general part in the phenomenon than has been thought hitherto.

Edge Separation

A description is given of the distribution of vorticity in the surface of thin wings with large leading edge sweep. Although the delta wing is chosen as the basic plan form the deductions are general and applicable to other types of wing. The conclusions are illustrated with experimental evidence from a water tunnel.

AbstractAn experimental study investigating the aerodynamic characteristics of generic delta wing-body combinations up to high angles of attack was carried out at a subsonic Mach number. Three delta wings having sharp leading edges and sweep angles of 50°, 60° and 70° were tested with two forebody configurations providing a variation of the nose fineness ratio. Measurements made included six-component forces and moments, limited static pressures on the wing lee-side and surface flow visualisation studies. The results showed symmetric flow features up to an incidence of about 25°, beyond which significant asymmetry was evident due to wing vortex breakdown, forebody vortex asymmetry or both. At higher incidence, varying degrees of forebody-wing vortex interaction effects were seen in the mean loads, which depended on the wing sweep and the nose fineness ratio. The vortex breakdown on these wings was found to be a gradual process, as implied by the wing pressures and the mean aerodynamic loads. Effects of forebody vortex asymmetry on the wing-body aerodynamics have also been assessed. Comparison of Datcom estimates with experimental data of longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics on all three wing-body combinations indicated good agreement in the symmetric flow regime.
