Flow-Control Effectiveness of Convergent Surface Indentations on an Aerofoil at Low Reynolds Numbers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Passive flow control on aerofoils has largely been achieved through the use of protrusions such as vane-type vortex generators. Consequently, innovative flow-control concepts should be explored in an effort to improve current component performance ...
