Abstract:

In recent decades, researchers aim to understand and control the physical phenomenon behind the complex flow structure of low swept delta wings arising with their widespread use in Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV), Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAV) and Micro Air Vehicles (MAV). In order to extend the working capabilities of these vehicles with having stable flight performance, detailed studies on understanding and controlling the flow structures over low swept delta wings are required. The aim of the present study is to control the flow structure over a non-slender delta wing with sweep angle of
