Investigations were performed on an 81°/45° sweep double-delta wing at a freestream velocity of 20 m/s. Experiments consisted of the measurement of forces, static pressures, and surface flow visualizations. Effect of the leading edge shapes of the double-delta wing was studied. Results indicated a strong influence of the leading edge shape on the aerodynamic performance of the body. The increase in the bluntness of the leading edge augments the suction pressure and delays the vortex lift phenomena at higher angles of attack, which in turn enhances the lift over the wing. A reasonable agreement between the experiments and computations were observed.

SummarySolutions to the problem of separated flow past slender delta wings for moderate values of a suitably defined incidence parameter have been calculated by Smith, using a vortex sheet model. By increasing the accuracy of the finite-difference technique, and by replacing Smith’s original nested iteration procedure, to solve the non-linear simultaneous equations that arise, by a Newton’s method, it is possible to extend the range of the incidence parameter over which solutions can be obtained. Furthermore for sufficiently small values of the incidence parameter, new and unexpected results in the form of vortex systems that originate inboard from the leading edge have been discovered. These new solutions are the only solutions, to the author’s knowledge, of a vortex sheet leaving a smooth surface.Interest has centred upon the shape of the finite vortex sheet, the position of the isolated vortex, and the lift, and variations of these quantities are shown as functions of the incidence parameter. Although no experimental evidence is available, comparisons are made with the simpler Brown and Michael model in which all the vorticity is assumed to be concentrated onto an isolated line vortex. Agreement between these two models becomes very close as the value of the incidence parameter is reduced.
