The paper aims to compute rolling moments on a follower aircraft wing due to vortices generated by a plain and flapped NACA4412 wing using experimental particle image velocimetery (PIV) data.

    Design/methodology/approach

    This paper describes the detailed variation of the induced rolling moment on a follower aircraft wing derived from a PIV velocity field measurement. A rectangular wing of a subsonic wall interference model is used as a vortex generator in two different configurations: plain wing of NACA4412 cross-section profile; and flapped wing with trailing edge flap of NACA0012 cross-section profile extended at 20°.

    Findings

    Results obtained showed that the maximum induced rolling moment coefficient depends on the strength of the vortex produced by the generating aircraft wing and increases linearly with the increment of the angle of attack.

    Originality/value

    This paper provides an insight on the effects of different angles of attacks for plain and flapped wings on the induced rolling moment coefficient and therefore, the hazard imposed on the following aircraft can be estimated.
