Default Vortex Generator Technicalities, By Peter Garrison

The Point of the Article is to understand their use.

Peter makes these statements.
"Vortex generators seem like a discordant
element in aerodynamic design" and "violating the rule that smoothness
is
desirable above all things"

Think, very hard about his statements. I have agreed with the first one
for many years.
Vortex Generators are a correction, of a poor airfoil use, at a given
angle and air pressure


ISTR hearing about someone with a Cherokee who used them to
reduce drag on his fuselage.
