Summary of STOL ground vortex investigation
Abstract
An experimental facility was developed in the 1.23 (48 inch) wind tunnel of the Applied Research Lab. at the Pennsylvania State Univ. to model the ground vortex. The purpose of the facility was to study the effect of various parameters on the location and characteristics of a ground vortex. An experimental investigation was conducted in the tunnel into the formation, stability and strength of the ground vortex for several flow parameters. The design of the facility, special instrumentation and results are summarized.
