English Abstract | To explore the effect of the height of vortex generators (vgs) on the control effect of boundary-layer flow, the vortex characteristics of a plate and the aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil for vgs were studied by both wind tunnel experiments and numerical methods. firstly, the ratio of vg height (h) to boundary layer thickness () was studied on a flat plate boundary layer; the values of h are 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0. results show that the concentrated vortex intensity and vg height present a logarithmic relationship, and vortex intensity is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the fluid in the height range of the vg. secondly, the effects of height on the aerodynamic performance of airfoils were studied in a wind tunnel using three vgs with h = 0.66, 1.0, and 1.33. the stall angle of the airfoil with and without vgs is 18 degrees and 8 degrees, respectively, so the vgs increase the stall angle by 10 degrees. the maximum lift coefficient of the airfoil with vgs increases by 48.7% compared with the airfoil without vgs, and the drag coefficient of the airfoil with vgs is 84.9% lower than that of the airfoil without vgs at an angle of attack of 18 degrees. the maximum lift-drag ratio of the airfoil with vgs is lower than that of the airfoil without vgs, so the vgs do not affect the maximum lift-drag ratio of the airfoil. however, a vg does increase the angle of attack of the best lift-drag ratio. |
