Abstract
The present experimental work investigates the near surface flow structure and aerodynamic characteristics of X-45 type non-slender delta wing planform using dye visualization, Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (stereo-PIV) and aerodynamic load measurements. The instantaneous images are acquired on the plan-view plane within 5o ≤ a ≤ 20o to calculate the time-averaged flow data. In order to compare flow structures with other non-slender wing planforms such as delta and lambda, previously presented dye visualization and stereo-PIV results are also provided. It can be concluded that vortical flow with a pair of well-defined LEVs over X-45 develop at very low angles of attack, and form close to the wing surface similar to delta and lambda planforms. The stall occurs at an angle of attack a = 32o, whereas stalling is evident at relatively lower angles of attack for simple delta wing.

Abstract
Mevcut deneysel çalışma ile X-45 tipi delta kanat modeli üzerinde oluşan yakın yüzey akış yapısı ve aerodinamik karakteristikleri, boya görüntüleme, üç boyutlu Stereoskopik Parçacık Görüntüleme Tekniği (stereo PIV) ve aerodinamik kuvvet ölçümleri kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Anlık görüntüler ile üst görünüş düzleminde zaman ortalama akış verileri 5o ≤ α ≤ 20ohücum açılarında elde edilmiştir. Delta ve Lamda tipi diğer düşük süpürme açılarına sahip delta kanat modelleri ile akış yapılarını karşılaştırmak için önceki sunulan boya görüntüleri ve steroPIV sonuçları kullanılmıştır. Düşük hücum açılarında X-45 tipi delta kanat modeli üzerinde iyi tanımlanmış ön uç yanal girdaplar delta ve lamda modellerine benzer kanat yüzeyinde oluşmaktadır. X-45 tipi delta kanat modelinde ölü akış yapısı α = 32ode oluşmaktayken basit delta kanat ve lamda modellerinde daha düşük hücum açılarında meydana gelmektedir
