Evolution of the leading-edge vortex over a flapping wing mechanism
Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2020 Leading-edge vortex governs the aerodynamic force production of flapping wing flyers. The primary factor for lift enhancement is the leading-edge vortex (LEV) that allows for stall delay that is associated with unsteady fluid flow and thus generating ...

Dye visualization of a yawed slender delta wing
Journal of Thermal Engineering, 2015 In the present experimental study, effects of yaw angle, β on the flow structure at high angles of attack, α with 70° sweep angle, Λ were investigated using the dye visualization technique. In the case of zero yaw angle, β a pair of leading edge vortices

Leading-Edge Vortex Characteristics of Low-Aspect-Ratio Sweptback Plates at Low Reynolds Number
Applied Sciences, 2021 A sweptback angle can directly regulate a leading-edge vortex on various aerodynamic devices as well as on the wings of biological flyers, but the effect of a sweptback angle has not yet been sufficiently investigated.

Sectional Leading Edge Vortex Lift and Drag Coefficients of Autorotating Samaras
Aerospace, 2023 Autorotating samaras such as Sycamore seeds are capable of descending at exceptionally slow speeds and the secret behind this characteristic is attributed to a flow mechanism known as the leading edge vortex (LEV).

The leading-edge vortex of yacht sails [PDF]
, 2017 A leading-edge vortex (LEV) can be a robust lift generation mechanism on both the wings of natural fliers and delta wings. A spinnaker-type of sail is a thin wing that promotes the formation of LEVs due to a sharp leading edge.

Effect of Wavy Leading Edges on Airfoil Trailing-Edge Bluntness Noise
Aerospace, 2023 Among the several noise-generation mechanisms of airfoil self-noise, trailing-edge bluntness noise is an important noise source, which is caused by the vortex shedding at blunt trailing edges.
