Abstract
AbstractIn low-speed wind tunnel tests at α = 25 and 30º of a 45º delta wing with semicircular leading edges limit cycle oscillations occurred around the 50º roll trim angle. In some cases the oscillations were highly regular, in other cases, highly irregular. An analysis of the observed roll-oscillation dynamics has shown that several viscous flow phenomena are involved, which depend strongly on the leading-edge geometry, and whose relative importance can vary dramatically with the existing Reynolds number in critical flow regions. The possible role of surface roughness in modifying the viscous flow/motion coupling to cause these dramatically different test results is examined.
