Initial ObjectiveQuantify the steady flow effects of oblique
element distributions interacting with vortical structures attached to a delta wing micro unmanned air vehicle
Areas of interest:High angle of attackRoughness elementsLift and Drag
Final ObjectiveQuantify the steady flow effects of obliquely
aligned channels interacting with vortical structures on a delta wing micro unmanned air vehicle
Areas of interest:High angles of attackLow Reynolds Numbers Obliquely aligned channelsLift and Drag
Theory – Delta Wing
Theory – Vortex BehaviorUnpredictable behavior
Leading-edge vortices Induces additional lift by pressure decrease
on suction surface
Vortex breakdown Vortex expands into highly fluctuating structure Induced by high angles of attack or pressure rise Vortex separates from wing Disadvantages:
Wing fluttering Loss of performance Decrease in lift
Vortex Breakdown
Delay bursting of vorticesIncreases performance
Controlled by increasing ωθ and induce secondary flow
Methods:Mechanical
Local action by contouring surfacePneumatic
Introduce perturbations through air flow

Jet FlapsLeading or Trailing edge
Can be difficult to implement.
Leading edge: + large increase on lift,- large increase on drag.
Trailing edge:+ increase stability - small increase on lift,
Piezoelectric StripsBonded on delta wing for
active control of oscillations.
Serve as sensors and actuators.
Voltages applied across strips create forces to counter oscillations.
Lightweight, cheap, and easy to manufacture.
Obliquely Aligned ElementsElements prevent
breakdown of vortices by directing air flow and produce high lift forces.
Elements also prevent buffeting and oscillations.
Moderate drag penalty.

Obliquely Aligned ChannelsDesigned to stabilize
the vortical flow.
Restrict pressure rises that precipitate breakdown.
Increase ωθ and induce secondary flow
Promote Reattatchment

ResultsOverall trend is the same for both wings
Lift and drag are less in the channeledIncreased difference in lift just before stall
Stall occurred at approximately 35°Lift after stall was greater for the channeled
SignificanceOblique channels do not increase
performanceThe effects after stall might suggest
improvement is possible
SummaryThere are multiple ways to manipulate the
vortical breakdownMechanicalPneumatic
Channeled wing does not drastically increase performanceLift force reducedDrag force reduced
RecommendationsImprovements in the channeled design might
allow for better performance than current model
Test at higher Reynolds numbersResume original test criteria
