The ability of vortex generators to reduce the unsteady distortion at the exit plane of an S duct is investigated. The three components of the velocity at the aerodynamic interface plane were measured using a stereo particle velocimetry system with high spatial resolution. This enabled an assessment of the synchronous swirl distortion at the duct exit. A total of nine vortex generator cases have been investigated with a systematic variation of key design variables. Overall, the vortex generators change the duct secondary flows and separation and are able to substantially restructure the flowfield at the aerodynamic interface plane. The pressure distortion could be reduced up to 50%, and a reduction in pressure loss of 30% was achieved for the mean flowfield. The vortex generators had a substantial influence on the unsteadiness of the flowfield with a reduction in peak swirl unsteadiness of 61% and an overall reduction of unsteady swirl distortion of 67%. They also suppressed the primary unsteady flow switching mechanism of the datum configuration, which is associated with the oscillation of bulk and twin swirl regimes. Consequently, extreme events that lead to high swirl intensity are suppressed, which lower by 45% the maximum swirl intensity for the vortex generator cases.
