Many real aircraft flows contain regions of three-dimensional separation with vortices. This paper presents selected results for three representative flows: juncture vortex, lifting-wing vortex, and wake vortex. Due to the difficulty of studying vortices, flow visualization was used as a primary research tool. Vortices are found to depend in subtle ways on details of the configuration, Reynolds number, or the environment. Examples showing the effect of filleting on the juncture flow, Reynolds number on the wing flow, and density gradients on the wake flow are presented.
