Aerodynamic Characteristics of Shark Scale-Based Vortex Generators upon Symmetrical Airfoil

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Shark Scale-Based Vortex Generators upon Symmetrical Airfoil

A series of wind tunnel tests were carried out to determine the effect of shark scale-based vortex generators (SSVG) on a NACA 0015 symmetrical airfoil’s aerodynamic characteristics. Three different sets of SSVG with varying geometrical parameters, such as chord length, amplitude, and wavelength, we...
