Numerical Study on Buoyancy-Driven Görtler Vortices above Horizontal Heated Flat Plate

The temperature of the solar cells on the upper surface of a solar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wing is much higher than the atmospheric temperature during flight. The temperature difference will induce buoyancy-driven Görtler vortices that may influence the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing....
