Vortex Flow and Aerodynamic Performance of a Reverse Delta Wing

What is it about?

A reverse delta wing is a delta wing flying backward. It finds applications in near-ground flight conditions. The flow past this type of wings has been sparsely studied, both numerically and experimentally. To fill the gap, we simulate numerically the unsteady flow past a reverse delta wing to characterize the structure and time evolution of the vortex flow, and quantify its impact on the aerodynamic performance of the wing.
