The performance of triangular ramp vortex generators of a type used for boundary layer separation control, has been compared with that of equivalent wing or vane type of lifting generators, in a uniform velocity field, and was shown to be substantially inferior. Performance was established using a novel vortex strength measuring device of unusual simplicity, for which calibrations are given and applications are discussed.
The usefulness of vortex generators in avoiding boundary layer separation due to an adverse pressure gradient has been established. Little, however, is known of the nature of vortex modified boundary layers. As part of an investigation into convective heat transfer through such layers it was desired to compare the circulation-drag performance of two representative generator configuration types, these being the popularly used stub wing or vane type, and the edge separation, plough or wedge type.
