Abstract

The design, construction, manufacturing and geometric properties of a generic 65° Delta Wing for the International Vortex Flow Experiment 2 are described. Briefly, the measurement equipment implemented in the model and the external sensors are specified. A wind tunnel investigation has been performed and the results for two different leading edge geometries (sharp and rounded) at three angles of attack are discussed in detail. Further, the results are compared with the ones obtained by NASA and also with computational results. Partly developed (α = 13°) and fully developed (α = 18°) leading edge vortices as well as vortex breakdown (α= 23°) are considered.
