Abstract:
A vortex generator is useable in a model in a fluid-dynamic channel. In order to save time during the development of vehicles, in particular, aircraft, to save wind tunnel time, it is suggested to configure the vortex generator to be switchable. A switchable vortex generator can be used, in particular, on models in fluid-dynamic channels and in fluid-dynamic channel tests.
