For a curved planform, the shock waves are weaker, especially toward the tip of the wing (compare Figures 11(a) and 12(a)), and the pressure variations in the chordwise direction are smoother (as discussed in a previous work [16]).

At present, the height of VGs is the same as thickness of the boundary layer when VG is used to control flow, so it is necessary to know about the change of boundary thickness of different spanwise and chordwise location at the blade root so as to provide a reference to design of VGs height.
