Flow over a conventional delta wing has been studied experimentally at a subsonic flow of 20 m/sec and the flow field developed at higher angle of attack varying from 10° to 20° has been captured. A vortex generator is mounted on the leeward surface of the delta wing and its effect on the flow field is studied. The set of wing tip vortices generated over the delta wing is captured by the oil flow visualization and the streamline over the delta wing surface captured with and without a vortex generator are compared. Based on the qualitative results, the effect of the vortex generator on the lift coefficient is anticipated. Further, force measurement is carried out to quantitatively analyze the effect of vortex generator on the lift and drag coefficient experienced by the delta wing and justify the anticipation made out of the qualitative oil flow visualization tests. In the present study, the effect of mounting of a vortex generator is found to be minimal on the lift coefficient experienced by the delta wing. However, a significant reduction in the drag coefficient with increase in angle of attack was observed by mounting a typical vortex generator.
