Analytical and experimental studies of wing tip vortices

Wing tip vortices, and their relationship to wing tip geometry and wing total drag, are investigated here both analytically and experimentally. The purpose of the analysis is to answer the basic question — what are the effects of wing drag on tip vortex structure? The purpose of the experiments i...
