Abstract
By implementing dual synthetic jets (DSJ) control on a slender delta wing, the leading-edge vortex (LEV) is effectively managed, resulting in substantial modifications to the flow field structure on the upper surface. The co-rotating acceleration generated by the DSJ significantly retracts the LEV and reduces its rotational radius. This process also leads to a significant optimization of the flow topology in the breakdown region of the baseline flow, effectively eliminating unstable spiral points. Furthermore, the axial velocity of the vortex is modified, delaying the breakdown point and extending the high-speed flow path by 22 % of the chord length. Despite the high-frequency, periodic nature of the DSJ, the vortex axis position remains stable, with minimal fluctuations, ensuring overall vortex stability. Additionally, the frequency characteristics of the vortex core are improved, exhibiting a shift toward higher frequencies.
