Leading-edge flow criticality as a governing factor in leading-edge-vortex initiation in unsteady airfoil flows [PDF]
, 2017 A leading-edge suction parameter (LESP) that is derived from potential flow theory as a measure of suction at the airfoil leading edge is used to study initiation of leading-edge vortex (LEV) formation in this article.

Image-Based Feature Extraction Technique for Inclined Crack Quantification Using Pulsed Eddy Current
Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2019 Existing eddy current non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques generally do not consider the inclination angle of inclined cracks, which potentially harms a larger region of a tested structure.

Prandtl–Batchelor flow past a flat plate with a forward-facing flap [PDF]
, 1984 Two-dimensional steady inviscid flow past an inclined flat plate with a forward-facing flap attached to the rear edge is considered for the case when a vortex sheet separates from the leading edge of the flat plate and reattaches at the leading edge of ...
