The Symphony SA-160 was designed with two unusual vortex generators on its wing to ensure aileron effectiveness through the stall. A vortex generator (VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing) [1] or a rotor blade of a wind turbine. [2]
Another important function of bargeboards is to act as vortex generators, redirecting and energizing airflow.The upper, downward sloping edge can shed a large vortex downstream around the sidepods, where it can interact favorably with flip-ups, or aid in sealing the low pressure underbody flow from the ambient stream.
When the speed is reduced and the aircraft approaches stall, the local flow at the leading edge is diverted outwards; this spanwise component of velocity around the vortilon creates a vortex streamed around the top surface, which energises the boundary layer. [6] A more turbulent boundary layer, in turn, delays the local flow separation.
To manage safety and wear of the arena (2), the planned maximum speed of the vortex base (33) is near 3 m/s (10 ft/s). The resulting vortex should resemble a large, slow dust-devil of water-mist more than a violent tornado. In uninhabited areas, faster speeds might be permitted so the vortex can survive in faster ambient winds.
This was confirmed during flight tests so small vanes called "vortex generators" were added to prevent airflow separation. [ 27 ] Both XB-47 prototypes were test flown at Edwards AFB; the first XB-47 (46-065) was disassembled and scrapped in 1954, making the second prototype (46-066) the sole surviving XB-47.
This article seems to give a pretty limited idea of what forms a vortex generator can take. It isn't always a vane on the top of a wing, and it isn't always something separate from the wing. Seems to me that anything that generates a vortex is a vortex generator..45Colt 21:24, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
The green vortex generators prompt the transition to turbulent flow and prevent back-flow also called flow separation from the high-pressure region in the back. The surface in front is as smooth as possible or even employs shark-like skin , as any turbulence here increases the energy of the airflow.
