Computational Modelling of Three Different Sub-Boundary Layer Vortex Generators on a Flat Plate
(MDPI, 2018-11-10)
Flow separation is the source of several problems in a wind turbine including load fluctuations, lift losses, and vibrations. Vortex generators (VGs) are passive flow control devices used to delay flow separation, but their ...
Computational Characterization of a Rectangular Vortex Generator on a Flat Plate for Different Vane Heights and Angles
(MDPI, 2019-03-01)
Vortex generators (VG) are passive flow control devices used for avoiding or delaying the separation of the boundary layer by bringing momentum from the higher layers of the fluid towards the surface. The Vortex generator ...
