A vortex generating device is provided as a generally airfoil-shaped lobed body. The flow deflection varies along a spanwise extent, such that the body exhibits a corrugated geometry in a trailing edge region, and the trailing edge exhibits an undulating shape. The undulating shape includes at least one corner. The trailing edge may include or may consist of straight trailing edge sections. The trailing edge may exhibit a polygonial waveform shape, in particular a trapezoidal or rectangular waveform shape. The vortex generating device may be provided as a fuel discharge device which is suited to discharge a fuel into a vortex flow generated by the vortex generating device. To this extent, a fuel supply plenum may be provided inside the body and at least one fuel discharge opening which is in fluid communication with the fuel supply plenum may be provided on the trailing edge.
