![]() a vortex formed by trailing edge turbulence is at the trailing edge. JAXAshby wrote: you don't understand the meaning of the word, "vortex", for there is no vortex at the trailing edge. check the dictionary. The one that said you were wrong about "vortices"? Anyway, a vortex can certainly form at a trailing edge. In general, ones that do are temporary.... but then MC asked about shedding and he wasn't (I assume) talking about dogs. One way to suppress a tip vortex is to deliberately induce a vortex slightly inboard along the trailing edge. That is part of what makes wing keels work. .. Different dynamics, different effects. Wait a minute, I thought you said they formed for the same reason? they do, but the **dynamics** AND the **effects** are different. which word didn't you understand? Oh, I understand the words just fine. Your explanation is a little bit fuzzy, though. Would you clarify? DSK |
