In order to study the effect of spacing λ of vortex generators(VGs) on the control boundary layer separation
4 kinds of vortex generators spacing were selected
and λ/H(H is the height of vortex generators) respectively were 5
7
9
11. The boundary layer separation flow of adverse pressure gradient and VGs control flow separation were simulated by large eddy simulation(LES) method. The evolution of the large scale coherent structure in turbulent flow field were analyzed with and without VGs control
and the influence of VGs spacing on the flow separation control effect were investigated from vortex spacing
fluid kinetic energy in the boundary layer
loss of pressure difference
etc. The research results show that when λ/H is 5
the spacing of VGs is too small
so that the spanwise development of vortex are suppressed
when λ/H are 9
11
the spacing of VGs is too large lead to the fluid kinetic energy in the boundary layer is too low
when the spacing of VGs is λ/H is 7
the effect of flow control is better
then the pressure loss of calculation domain is minimum
