The effect of unsteady blowing through the leading edge on the flow structure over a 45 deg swept delta wing in relation to the steady blowing is experimentally studied in a low-speed wind tunnel using the techniques of surface-pressure measurements, particle image velocimetry, and laser-illuminated smoke visualization. The unsteady blowing in the form of a periodic square pattern at 25% duty cycle is provided at the excitation frequencies varying from 2 to 24 Hz for a fixed momentum coefficient. The flow structure is characterized at Reynolds number Re = 3.5 x 10(4) for the angles of attack varying from 7 to 20 deg. The results indicate that unsteady blowing through the leading edges of the planform is quite successful in elimination of localized separation from the surface of the planform. In comparison with the steady blowing, the periodic blowing at relatively higher excitation frequency induces substantial improvement in flowfield and demonstrates superior performance even at significantly lower total momentum.

Effect of Passive Bleeding on Flow Structure over a Nonslender Delta Wing Celik, Alper; Cetin, Cenk; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2017-08-01) The effect of passive bleeding on flow structure of a 45 deg swept delta wing is studied in a low-speed wind tunnel using techniques of laser-illuminated smoke visualization, surface-pressure measurements, and particle image velocimetry. Three different bleeding configurations are tested to identify the effectiveness of the control technique compared to a base planform for a broad range of attack angles 6 <= alpha <= 6deg at Reynolds numbers Re=3.5x10(4) and Re=10(5). The results indicate that all bleeding ...
Flow Structure on Nonslender Delta Wing: Reynolds Number Dependence and Flow Control Zharfa, Mohammadreza; Ozturk, Ilhan; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2016-03-01) The flow structure over a 35 deg swept delta wing is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using techniques of laser-illuminated smoke visualization, laser Doppler anemometry, and surface-pressure measurements. The effects of Reynolds numbers and attack angles on the evaluation of flow patterns are addressed within the broad range of Reynolds number 10(4) < Re < 10(5) and attack angle 3 deg < alpha < 10 deg. In addition, the effect of steady blowing through the leading edges of the wing on flow structure...
Effect of Thickness-to-Chord Ratio on Flow Structure of a Low Swept Delta Wing Gulsacan, Burak; Sencan, Gizem; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2018-12-01) The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on flow structure of a delta wing with sweep angle of 35 deg is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser-illuminated smoke visualization, particle image velocimetry, and surface pressure measurements. Four different t/C ratios varying from 4.75 to 19% are tested at angles of attack, 4, 6, 8, and 10 deg, for Reynolds numbers Re =1 x 10(4) and 3.5 x 10(4). The results indicate that the effect of thicknessto-chord ratio on flow structure is quite substan...
Effect of thickness-to-chord ratio on aerodynamics of non-slender delta wing Ghazijahani, Mohammad Sharifi; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2019-05-01) The effect of thickness-to-chord (t/C) ratio on aerodynamics of a non-slender delta wing with sweep angle of 45 degree is characterized in a low-speed wind tunnel using laser illuminated smoke visualization, surface pressure measurements, particle image velocimetry, and force measurements. The delta wings of t/C ratios varying from 2% to 15% with 45 degree windward beveled leading edges are tested. The results indicate that the effect of t/C ratio on flow structure is quite substantial. Considering the low ...
Control of flow structure on delta wing with steady trailing-edge blowing Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2006-03-01) The near-surface flow structure and topology are characterized of a delta wing of low sweep angle, which is subjected to trailing-edge blowing. A technique or high-image-density particle image velocimetry is employed to determine the topological critical points adjacent to the surface and in the near wake of the wing, in relation to the dimensionless magnitude of the blowing coefficient. These topological features are, in turn, interpreted in conjunction with patterns of surface-normal vorticity and near-su...
