This vortex is located above the secondary vortex and it has a minor influence on the pressure distribution and the limiting streamlines behavior on the side face. The flow at this angle of attack <i>α</i> results in repeated separations for thin boundary layers (near the configuration rib and beneath the enlarged secondary vortex). Within the tested interval of the angle of attack <i>α</i> = 8° – 24°, the sizes of those local separations remain almost the same.
