The vortical flow of a 65-deg flat plate delta wing with a leading edge extension(LEX) was examined through off-surface visualization, 5-hole probe and hot-film measurements. The off-surface flow visualization technique used micro water droplets generated by a home-style ultrasonic humidifier and a laser beam sheet. The angles of attack ranged from 10 to 30 degrees, and the sideslip angles ranged from 0 to -15 degrees. The Reynolds number was $1.82{\times}10^5$ for the flow visualization, and $1.76{\times}10^6$ for the 5-hole probe and hot-film measurements. The comparison of the visualization photos and the flow field measurement showed that the two results were in a good agreement for the relative position and the structure of the wing and LEX vortices, even though the flow Reynolds numbers of the two results were much different. The wing vortex and the LEX vortex coil each other while maintaining a comparable strength and identity at zero sideslip. Neither a looping of the wing vortex around the strake vortex, nor the lopsided coiling of the stronger strake and the weaker wing vortices was observed. At non-zero sideslip, the downward movement of the LEX vortex when going downstream was enhanced on the windward side, and the downward and inboard movement of the LEX vortex when going downstream was suppressed on the leeward side. The counterclockwise coiling of the wing and LEX vortices was decreased significantly on the leeward side.

The development and interaction of vortices over a delta wing with leading edge extension (LEX) was investigated through off-surface flow visualization using micro water droplets and a laser beam sheet. Angles of attack of $20^{\circ}$ and 24$^{\circ}$ were tested at sideslip angles of $0^{\circ}$, $-5^{\circ}$, and $-10^{\circ}$ The flow Reynolds number based on the main-wing root chord was $1.82{\times}10^{5}$. The wing vortex and the LEX vortex coiled around each other while maintaining comparable strength and identity at a zero sideslip. The increase of angle of attack intensified the coiling and shifted the cores of the wing and LEX vortices inboard and upward. By sideslip, the coiling, the merging and the diffusion of the wing and LEX vortices were increased on the windward side, whereas they were delayed significantly on the leeward side. The present study confirmed that the sideslip angle had a profound effect on the vortex structure and interaction of a delta wing with LEX, which characterized the vortex-induced aerodynamic load.

An experimental investigation was conducted on the interaction of vortices over a delta wing with the leading edge extension for three angles of attack($16^{\circ},\; 24^{\circ} \;and\; 28^{\circ}$) at Reynolds number of $1.76{\times}10^6.$ The experimental data included total pressure contours and velocity vectors using 5-hole probe measurements. Constant total pressure coefficient contours show the LEX vortex moves downward and outboard, while the wing vortex exhibited an inboard and upward migration. At near the trailing edge, these vortices reveal a direct interaction between the wing and LEX vortex, featuring a coiling of vortex cores about each other. The combined effect of the interaction of these two vortices and proximity to the wing surface results in the increase of the suction peak. This is in contrast to the result obtained on the delta wing alone configuration, where the effect of the vortex breakdown was manifested. The interaction of the wing and LEX vortices is more pronounced at higher AOA.

본 연구에서는 스트레이크의 형상 변화가 삼각날개의 와류 상호작용과 와류 붕괴 특성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 규명하기 위해 세 가지의 서로 다른 평면 형상의 스트레이크를 부착한 이중 삼각 날개 형상에 대하여 유동 가시화(flow visualization)와 날개면 정압 분포 측정의 풍동실험을 수행하였다. 압력 측정 결과 스트레이크의 후퇴각이 증가할수록 날개의 상류 시위 위치에서는 보다 강력하고 집중된 와류가 형성되지만 이 와류는 시위 뒤쪽으로 진행되면서 보다 빨리 와류 붕괴(vortex breakdown)현상을 거치며 약해지는 것을 관측하였다. 가시화 결과에서는 스트레이크의 후퇴각이 증가할수록 스트레이크 와류와 날개 와류간의 roll-up 및 통합 과정이 촉진되는 것이 상류 시위에서 집중된 와류를 발달시키는 원인인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
