Aerodynamics

a small vane on a surface that creates streamwise vortices to mix energetic outer flow into the boundary layer and delay separation.

In aerodynamics, vortex generator refers to a small vane on a surface that creates streamwise vortices to mix energetic outer flow into the boundary layer and delay separation. This meaning comes from Lin (2002) in Progress in Aerospace Sciences.[1]
