Effects of Sweeping Jet Actuator Parameters on Flow Separation Control

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

Flow on Sweeping Networks

We introduce a cellular automaton model coupled with a transport equation for flows on graphs. The direction of the flow is described by a switching process where the switching probability dynamically changes according to the value of the transported quantity in the neighboring cells. A motivation is pedestrian dynamics during panic situations in a small corridor where the propagation of people...

Flow Control of Leading Edge Separation on Airfoil Using Dbd Plasma Actuator

Numerical Investigation of Jet and Vortex Actuator (JaVA) for Active Flow Control

An oscillatory, zero-net-mass flux Jet and Vortex Actuator (JaVA) was modelled as part of a flat plate and simulated in a boundary layer flow. JaVA is an active flow control device that can be used for flow separation control and thus can delay boundary layer transition. It has been already shown experimentally that JaVA induced flow types in still water include angled and vertical jets, wall j...

Optimization of a synthetic jet actuator for flow control around an airfoil

This paper deals with the optimization of a synthetic jet actuator parameters in the control flow around the NACA0015 airfoil at two angles of attack: 13° (i.e. the stall angle of NACA0015) and 16° (i.e. the post stall angle of NACA0015) to maximize the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil. Synthetic jet actuator is a zero mass flux-active flow control device that alternately injects and remo...
