Leading-edge vortex burst on a low-aspect-ratio rotating flat plate

Leading-edge vortex burst on a rotating flat plate wing was investigated experimentally using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry. Vortex burst was found to occur near the point of maximum lift production and was characterized by a concentration of opposite-sign vorticity entrainment and axial flow stagnation within the vortex core.
