Experimental evaluation of the flow field induced by an active vortex generator
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This investigation examined the flow field generated by a ramp-shaped vortex generator (VG) that underwent active oscillation within a laminar boundary layer. The oscillations were applied through a servomotor, which pivoted the VG around its leading edge. The study evaluated the influence of varying the maximum VG height during the oscillations (h), actuation frequency (f), and the waveform governing the periodic oscillation of the VG. Planar particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were conducted to estimate flow mixing and the drag induced by the VG. The height-based Reynolds number (Reh) ranged from 300 to 600, and the chord-based Strouhal number (Stc) for the oscillations varied from 0.67 to 3.33. The findings of the study indicate that active VGs lead to a greater wall-normal transport of streamwise momentum and result in lower drag compared to static VGs. Furthermore, increasing h results in larger momentum transport and drag of the active VGs. The investigation also revealed that the highest momentum transport and drag occurred when f was close to the instability frequency of the shear layer. The results show the potential of active VGs for separation control under various flow conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
