Vortex Structures

Quite a considerable number of studies have been carried out to date into delta wings, ogival wings, cones and also into more or less simple slender bodies formed from combinations of such components; the findings have dealt as much with the development of approximate theories as with the definition of models specifying vortex lift by unit area. Visualisations of hyper lifting vortex structures, mainly those carried out by Werle H, the analysis of pressure and speed fields created by these vortices, with or without breakdown - notably the analysis by Solignac et al. also provide quite outstanding studies that are the standard works in their fields.
