Abstract EN
The flow control in twin air-intakes is necessary to improve the performance characteristics, since the flow traveling through curved and diffused paths becomes complex, especially after merging.
The paper presents a comparison between two well-known techniques of flow control: active and passive.
It presents an effective design of a vortex generator jet (VGJ) and a vane-type passive vortex generator (VG) and uses them in twin air-intake duct in different combinations to establish their effectiveness in improving the performance characteristics.
The VGJ is designed to insert flow from side wall at pitch angle of 90 degrees and 45 degrees.
Corotating (parallel) and counterrotating (V-shape) are the configuration of vane type VG.
It is observed that VGJ has the potential to change the flow pattern drastically as compared to vane-type VG.
While the VGJ is directed perpendicular to the side walls of the air-intake at a pitch angle of 90 degree, static pressure recovery is increased by 7.8% and total pressure loss is reduced by 40.7%, which is the best among all other cases tested for VGJ.
For bigger-sized VG attached to the side walls of the air-intake, static pressure recovery is increased by 5.3%, but total pressure loss is reduced by only 4.5% as compared to all other cases of VG.
