Asymmetric Vortex Breakdown Over A Triple Delta Wing

Asymmetric Vortex Breakdown Over A Triple Delta Wing | Mach 0.85 Sideslip AerodynamicsThis episode explains asymmetric vortex breakdown on a triple-delta wing at transonic speed (Mach 0.85) with a 5° sideslip angle. Using results from a high-fidelity CFD study (including pressure coefficient maps and vortex visualizations), we show how sideslip creates windward/leeward differences, how vortex merging changes with angle of attack, and why breakdown can happen earlier on one wing — with real implications for stability and pitching/rolling moments.📄 Research paper: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13272-022-00571-9?fromPaywallRec=false, Investigation of transonic aerodynamics on a triple-delta wing in side slip conditions, licensed under creative commons: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Learn CFD / AerodynamicsOpenFOAM Courses: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Courses/Automotive Aerodynamics Course: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Automotive-Aerodynamics/RC Airplane Design & Build Course: https://premieraerodynamics.com/RC-Airplane-Course/Work with me🚗 Car CFD Simulation Commissions: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Simulate-Your-Own-Car/Community💬 Free Discord (CFD + aero discussion): https://discord.gg/QajxVpmYMQ
