Source Term Modelling of Vane-Type Vortex Generators under Adverse Pressure Gradient in OpenFOAM

Source Term Modelling of Vane-Type Vortex Generators under Adverse Pressure Gradient in OpenFOAM

An analysis of the generation of vortices and their effects by vane-type vortex generators (VGs) positioned on a three-dimensional flat plate with a backward-facing ramp and adverse gradient pressure is carried out. The effects of a conventional vortex generator and a sub-boundary layer vortex gener...
