Abstract
A flow visualization study of the vortical flow over a cropped double-delta wing model with sharp leading edges and its three derivatives with small geometric modifications (fillets) at the strake wing junction was conducted in the Naval Postgraduate School water tunnel using the dye-injection technique. The fillets increased the wing area of the baseline model by 1%. The main focus of this study was to evaluate the effect of fillets on vortex core trajectories, interactions and breakdown on the leeward surface at high angle of attack (AOA) with zero sideslip angle. Comparison of test results for different fillet shapes indicates delay in both vortex interaction and breakdown at high AOA, particularly for the diamond fillet shapes. The vortex breakdown data implies lift augmentation for both static and dynamic case, with the static data correlating well with recently published numerical data.

    Proposed model of thermionically assisted breakdown and implementation on electrostatic thrusters 

    Bell, Walter J. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-12);
    A model for thermionically assisted breakdown is proposed which predicts the voltage reduction experienced in low voltage discharges. This reduction in breakdown voltage has been beneficial to numerous engineering ...

    Laser light absorption characteristics of a laser produced hydrogen plasma 

    Carlisle, James Allen (1972-12);
    Light from a neodymium doped glass laser was focused in hydrogen gas at pressures from 20 millitorr to 62 atmospheres in order to produce optical breakdown of the gas. In the cases where breakdown was experienced, absorption ...
