hi engies,
i found this , it is not a turbulator but looks like a similar device, could anyone explein please ? Thanks

Unsteady flowfields around oscillating Boeing VR7 airfoil with and
without a leading-edge slat were numerically investigated by a novel zonal method using a conformal mapping technique. Numerical aero-dynamic hysteresis loops show that the leading-edge slat prevents the airfoil dynamic stall at reduced frequency of 0.15, Reynolds number of 1 million
Question : what is this "slat" ? it's shape ?
