Recently, we have demonstrated that the bleeding, which utilizes passages inside the wing to allow the fluid flowing from the pressure side to the suction side by using inherent pressure difference, could be used as an effective flow control method for nonslender delta wings. In the present study, this technique is investigated in detail for nonslender delta wings of 35 and 45-degree sweep angles in a low speed wind tunnel using smoke visualization, particle image velocimetry, and surface pressure measurements for broad ranges of angle of attack and Reynolds number. The effects of bleeding orientation, angle, and solidity ratio on flow structure are quantified in particular, where the solidity ratio signifies the level of bleed gap on the wing surface. The results indicate that the recovery of the leading-edge vortex with significant increases in the suction pressure coefficient, −Cp, along with the elimination of large-scale swirl pattern in near surface streamline topology are achieved with the proper bleeding configuration. Considering the effectiveness, the bleeding orientation and the solidity ratio are quite critical to achieve the successful flow control where the angles need to be adjusted according to the angle of attack of the wing to reach the utmost influence.

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 s...
Convergence, stability, and numerical solution of unsteady free convection magnetohydrodynamical flow between two slipping plates
Arslan, Sinem (2021-09-01)
In this study, the unsteady free convection magnetohydrodynamical flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid between two horizontally directed slipping plates is considered. The external magnetic filed is applied uniformly in the y-direction and the fluid is assumed to be of low conductivity so that the induced magnetic field is negligible. So the relevant variables, that is, the velocity and the temperature, depend only on one coordinate, the y-axis. The governing equations of vel...
