Effects of Several Arrangements of Rectangular Vortex Generators on the Static-Pressure Rise Through a Short 2:1 Diffuser

Memorandum presenting an investigation of a 2:1 area-ratio diffuser of length equal to the inlet diameter with several arrangements of simple rectangular vortex generators over a speed range up to an inlet Mach number of 0.5. The investigation was for an inlet boundary layer of 5 percent of the inlet diameter, a condition for which this diffuser had substantial separated areas with no vortex generators. Results regarding the diffuser with no vortex generators, counterrotating vortex generators, other arrangements investigated, and a comparison with results from previous diffuser research are provided.
