Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiments were conducted in a water tunnel to study vortex interactions around tapered swept wings with leading edge tubercles. Two airfoil models based on the SD7032 airfoil profile were tested at Reynolds number 9100 and angles of attack (α) of -10°,10° and 25°,...
