effuno should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
thanks guys..!

locost , neednt hav done any apologies for helping me out.

the endplates r not the conventional ones . this one goes parallel to the flow direction rather than parallel to the ends(leading edge in this case) of the delta wing itself.!
but the insight u gave me into the gurney flap was useful .i almost switched off my brains on tat and hadnt thot of wat u said.! thanks again

and i am testing the behaviour at low speeds rather than machs. so not sure abt the optimum use of end plates and gurney flaps yet..but i'll try find some .!!

this project is more abt learning CFD than learning aero , but still i wud want to do sth tat helps my aero knowledge as well. So i just took up the delta wing to work on , coz all i knew abt them was tat it worked by generating vortices using sharp leading edges and i cud learn more......... and frankly i never found something on inverted delta. (laziness the reason, to an extend )


sry for late acknowledgement ;been away from this for sometime now
