Explore: Trapped Vortexes

In fluid dynamics, a vortex (pl.: vortices or vortexes) is a region in a fluid in which the flow revolves around an axis line, which may be straight or

pocket behind the step and become part of the airfoil shape as a trapped vortex or vortex attachment. This purportedly prevents separation and maintains

trapped by the airflow and remains fixed to the upper surface of the wing. As the air flows around the leading edge, it flows over the trapped vortex

rotor-wing combination, resulting in vertical lift. The flow sets up a trapped vortex within the rotor, which can rotate faster than the airspeed and greatly
