Keywords: flow control, vortex generators, auxiliary intakes

An experimental and numerical investigation of the benefits of vortex generator (VG) control on the performance of a flush, parallel walled auxiliary intake has been conducted in air at a Reynolds number of 6,000 based on boundary layer momentum thickness, and at a free stream velocity of 45 ms-1.
