Wake Flow Measurements in an Oscillating Delta Wing at High Incidence

  • Conference paper
Bluff-Body Wakes, Dynamics and Instabilities

Summary

Hot wire measurements and flow visualization on a Delta wing oscillating in pitch at high mean incidences were undertaken. The effects of oscillation on the velocity spectral characteristics and the Strouhal frequency were investigated.
