The development and formation of the leading-edge vortices due to the change in the angle of attack, , and yaw angle, , for a unique cross-flow plane at a dimensionless distance of from the apex of the stationary delta wing with a sweep angle of were observed using stereoscopic particle-image velocimetry (stereo-PIV). In addition, the experiments were conducted on three different cross-flow planes such as and using dye visualization to reveal the development of leading-edge vortices over the delta wing. The angle of attack was varied within the range of and the yaw angle was varied within the range of . The vortical flow structure and loadings toward the wing surface due to the fluctuations and unsteadiness in the flow structure near the delta wing are investigated using time-averaged parameters such as streamlines, contours of vorticity distributions, Reynolds stress correlations, distributions of turbulent kinetic energy, vertical velocity, and RMS of vertical velocity fluctuations.
