Description:
Flow field data for a double delta wing at low speed were used to determine the location of a vortex action point. The result was found to be consistent with what was determined for a delta wing. In supersonic flow, the action point location was determined empirically. For a wing with rounded leading edges, an assumption for initial vortex separation was shown to be equivalent to initial leading edge bubble separation for airfoils. A theoretical formulation by the section analogy to determine the delayed vortex separation on a cambered wing with rounded leading edges was presented. The method of suction analogy was further shown to be applicable to predicting the body vortex lift.
