Spanwise arrays of miniature vortex generators (MVGs) are used to generate energetic
transient disturbance growth, which is able to modulate the boundary layer flow with steady …

This article puts forward a novel idea which can be used to control the turbulent coherent
structures and make the turbulence more steady by using a “wake blocking wall”. The “wake …

Miniature vortex generators (MVGs) are able to delay the transition to turbulence in a flat
plate boundary layer if properly designed. Unfortunately, the natural recovery of the …

Recent experimental results on the attenuation of two-dimensional Tollmien–Schlichting
wave (TSW) disturbances by means of passive miniature vortex generators (MVGs) have …

Shapes with a special pressure distribution can prevent boundary-layer separation and as a
result can allow both reduction of drag and noise without any active flow-control methods …

For the first time, detailed experiments aimed at evaluation of the influence of flat
microroughness elements (adhesive tape stickers attached to the streamlined surface) on …

The numerical investigation is conducted to probe the heat transfer performance and flow
behavior in a channel having miniature cuboid vortex generators (MCVGs) at Reynolds …

Since the mid–50s, until the first proof-of-concept experiment of transition delay using
circular roughness elements in 2006, there was a strong consensus within the research …

The miniature square filament (MSF) is a kind of miniature cuboid vortex generator (MCVG).
The effects of a single MCVG (MSF) immersed in various turbulent regions on the original …

The experiments carried out within the AFRODITE [2] project are aimed at exploring the
effectiveness of properly shaped velocity miniature vortex generators in delaying transition …
