Effect of Fuselage Geometry on Delta-Wing Vortex Breakdown

A fuselage is usually associated with the use of a delta wing on an actual aircraft. It is also in many cases necessary to use a centerbody of some shape in tunnel tests of pure delta wings. The present paper describes the e ow physics causing the experimentally observed large effect of a fuselage on delta-wing vortex breakdown.
