An assessment of some vorticity field-leading edge interactions
Abstract
A review is undertaken of some recent advances in the following areas: the encounter of distributed and concentrated vorticity at a single frequency with a leading-edge, the interaction of multiple concentrations of vorticity with an edge, the distortion due to finite scale and angle of attack of the leading-edge, and the penetration of the leading-edge interaction into the near-wake region. Time-sequence flow visualization and phase-coordinated pressure measurements provide physical insight into the mechanisms of flow distortion and loading. Promising paths for future research are suggested on the basis of recent progress.
