We study a UCAV configuration by CFD and investigate how rows of smallrnVGs can improve its stalling characteristics. The VGs are imagined tornwork similar to the stall fence for Saab J32. By optimizing thernplacement and strength of the VGs we demonstrate how the vortical flowrnpatterns can be controlled.
