TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER SEPARATION - PASSIVE CONTROL

DOI: 10.1615/TSFP4.920
SINOPSIS
We report results where a separated turbulent boundary layer is controlled using vortex generators of various heights. Measurements are performed using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and velocity profiles, reversed flow profiles and integral parameters of the boundary layer are presented. The effectiveness of the separation control is shown to depend on the circulation induced by the vortex generators and for the largest values a complete cancellation of the separation seems to be possible.
