Abstract
A vortex generator is a compact device that can be installed on automobiles and airplanes to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. The use of vortex generators on automobiles and airplanes is briefly described in this study. It begins by outlining the working theories and categorizations of vortex generators, which reactivate the boundary layer to postpone airflow separation. Second, this study examines the use of vortex generators on automobiles and trucks, positioned at the back of these vehicles to reduce air drag and improve fuel efficiency. Studies show that vortex generators can increase vehicle fuel economy by 10% to 20%. This study examines how vortex generators improve airplane efficiency and lift by controlling the airflow above the wings. In general, if a vortex generator’s design is appropriate for automobiles and airplanes, it can improve aerodynamic performance. This article lists several sources regarding the use of vortex generators and their benefits. In short, the future development of vortex generators will tend to be intelligent, material optimization, and environmental protection, aiming to provide more efficient, reliable, and intelligent fluid control solutions, and bring greater economic and social benefits to various industrial applications.
