Summary
The vortex generator is a simple device to induce streamwise vortex for flow separation control, thus reducing the pressure-difference drag. The fundamental characteristics of vortex generators and the corresponding parameter influence are first introduced. Then the applications of vortex generators in various fields for flow separation control and heat transfer enhancement are discussed. Note that vortex generators have been actually applied in a few industrial fields, such as modern passenger aircraft. This shows the advantages of vortex generators, since most other control devices are still at the lab-investigation stage.
