Özet

In the present investigation, a delta wing which has 70° sweep angle, Λ was oscillated on its mid-cord according to the equation of α(t)=αm+αosin(ωet). This study focused on understanding the effect of pitching and characterizing the interaction of vortex breakdown with oscillating leading edges under different yaw angles, β over a slender delta wing. The value of mean angle of attack, αm was taken as 25°. The yaw angle, β was varied with an interval of 4° over the range of 0°≤β≤ 16°. The delta wing was sinusoidally pitched within the range of period of time 5s≤Te≤60s and reduced frequency was set as K=0.16, 0.25, 0.49, 1.96 and lastly amplitude of pitching motion was arranged as αo=±5°.Formations and locations of vortex breakdown were investigated by using the dye visualization technique in side view plane.
