Numerical Investigation on Flow Separation Control of Low Reynolds Number Sinusoidal Aerofoils [PDF]
, 2016 The paper presents a computational analysis of the characteristics of a NACA 634- 021 aerofoil incorporated with sinusoidal leading-edge protuberances at Re = 14,000. The protuberances are characterized by an amplitude and wavelength of 12% and 50% of

A Note on the Calculation of Supercavitating Hydrfoils with Rounded Noses [PDF]
, 1973 Practical supercavitating hydrfoils have rounded leading edges for mechanical strength. The prediction of pressures near the leading edge of such hydrofoils by linearized free streamline theory fails because singularities are usually required there by ...

Rotational accelerations stabilize leading edge vortices on revolving fly wings [PDF]
, 2009 The aerodynamic performance of hovering insects is largely explained by the presence of a stably attached leading edge vortex (LEV) on top of their wings. Although LEVs have been visualized on real, physically modeled, and simulated insects, the physical
