ABSTRACT:
One or more channels whose edges generate streamwise vortices from heights coincidental with a local flow-control surface into the channels are used to maintain attached flow of a fluid medium flowing therepast, even in areas of severe regional adverse pressure gradients. The channels are generally triangular in shape with the apex forwardmost in the flow. The channels work very effectively when nested in series and are most effective when the channels extend to the trailing edge of a flow-control surface.
