Looking for some test results of vortex generators on the aft portion of a blunt fuselage.

The aircraft I'm thinking of is an osprey II where the back of the canopy is pretty much shaped like 1/4 of a sphere. Lengthening it isn't an option due to prop placement. The only photos of VGs on the canopy of an osprey I have found look to be installed too far aft and buried in the boundary layer making them ineffective. Looking to reduce drag and get cleaner flow into the prop.
