Leading edge vortex dynamics [PDF]
, 2015 Leading edge vortices can create high local pressures which in some situations may be advantageous but in others may cause damage. This paper looks at three wind engineering situations: windborne debris, roof suctions on a low-rise building and pressures near the luff of a downwind sail, where the behaviour of the leading edge vortex is significant. In

A new method for predicting the vortex induced aerodynamic characteristics of a body of revolution [PDF]
, 1995 The problem of mathematically modelling the symmetric vortex pair formed on the lee side of a body of revolution at moderate incidence to the freestream direction is addressed with a view to predicting its aerodynamic characteristics.

Blunt leading-edge effect on spanwise-varying leading-edge contours of an UCAV configuration
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2023 The vortex system on the SACCON model is studied under low Reynolds number by using the flow visualization technique and the surface pressure testing measurement in a low-speed water channel and a wind tunnel, respectively.

The essence of generating vortex-within-a-vortex structures behind forked caudal fins
AIP Advances, 2022 This work focuses on vortex-within-a-vortex (VV) structures behind three different shapes of forked caudal fin with a heaving-pitching motion. The results show that the synchronization of trailing-edge vortex separation and the shedding of the leading ...

The Aerodynamic Effect of an Alula-like Vortex Generator on a Revolving Wing
Biomimetics, 2022 An alula is a small structure of feathers that prevents birds from stalling. In this study, the aerodynamic effect of an alula-like vortex generator (alula-VG) on a revolving wing was investigated using the PIV technique in a water tank. The alula-VG was

Aerodynamic performance of dragonfly wing model that starts impulsively: how vortex motion works
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2023 The cross-section of dragonfly wings has corrugated structures. In particular, the leading-edge side of the wing consists of V-shaped structures. According to previous studies, a corrugated wing may exhibit high aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds ...

Manipulation of Leading-Edge Vortex Flow [PDF]
Aerospace, 2020 At very high angles of attack, the leading-edge vortex of a semi-slender delta wing becomes unsteady and collapses, endangering the flight stability. Active flow control by pulsed blowing stabilizes the vortex system, enlarging the flight envelope for such wing configurations.

Application of digital particle image velocimetry to insect aerodynamics: measurement of the leading-edge vortex and near wake of a Hawkmoth [PDF]
, 2007 Some insects use leading-edge vortices to generate high lift forces, as has been inferred from qualitative smoke visualisations of the flow around their wings.
