High Swept-Back Delta Wing Flow

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, an experimentally and numerically investigation was carried out to obtain characteristics (lift force, drag force ...) on 74.5 degree Delta wing. The experiment tests were conducted at Hanoi University of Science and Technology low-speed wind tunnel facility, whereas the numerical tests were performed using the commercial computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS/FLUENT. The apparition of the vortices upon the Delta wing caused the negative pressure distribution on the wing which reached a maximum absolute value at the vortex core. The characteristics of high swept-back Delta wing were investigated at air velocity of 10 m/s and attack angle of 20 degree in changing the rolling angle of the wing from 0 to 20 degree.
