(B) (A) Figure 1: (A) Common Vortex Generator Geometries; (B) Common Orientations [1]In addition to geometry and orientation playing an important role in the effectiveness of the micro vortexgenerators, the placement is also crucial. For them to be able to function, they must be able to be placedupstream of the separation point (see Fig. 2) so that momentum can be continually transferred to the nearwall flow. According to Lin [1], an optimal location is approximately 5 to 30 times the height of thedevice upstream from the separation point. There are special circumstances though where it would beideal to place the generators further upstream if they produce longer lasting vortices. Because knowingthe

Whilegauging confidence with resources is not a definitive sign of effective instruction, we feltconfidence in finding and using resources relates to comfort level in using the literature.

This changed from theoriginal budget, $1,105.00, request because of a change in design. The change in design allowedthe team to find more reusable, cheaper and even some donated parts.
