Development and control of vortices over a very low aspect-ratio wing

The vortical structures over a thin rectangular wing with a very low aspect ratio (AR) of 0.277 are investigated in a wind tunnel at an effective Reynolds number of 3 × 106 . The maximum lift of this thin wing is found at an angle of attack of 42◦ . The flow separates at the leading-edge and reattac...
