Review of flow control mechanisms of leading-edge vortices (2006, background): “Very early experiments demonstrated that vortex breakdown moves upstream over delta wings when the magnitude of either parameter is increased [5].”
Three-dimensional vortex breakdown in swirling jets and wakes: direct numerical simulation (2003, result): “In contrast to the above results, Lambourne & Bryer (1961) consider unconfined vortices emanating from the leading edge of a delta wing.”
Spiral vortex breakdown as a global mode (2006, methodology): “Spiral vortex breakdown appears to have been first described by Lambourne & Bryer (1961) on delta-wings, Sarpkaya (1971), Faler & Leibovich (1977) and Escudier & Zehnder (1982) in tube experiments, and Spall & Gatski (1991) in numerical simulations of the Navier– Stokes equations.”
Unsteady aerodynamics of nonslender delta wings (2005, methodology): “This technique has been very successful in displaying the distinctive character of the spiral vortex breakdown [37, 38] that occur over slender delta wings.”
