Flow Control of Smart UAV Airfoil Using Synthetic Jet Part 2 : Flow control in Transition Mode Using Synthetic Jet

Some aspects of aerodynamic flow control using synthetic-jet actuation.

Aerodynamic flow control effected by interactions of surface-mounted synthetic (zero net mass flux) jet actuators with a local cross flow is reviewed. These jets are formed by the advection and interactions of trains of discrete vortical structures that are formed entirely from the fluid of the embedding flow system, and thus transfer momentum to the cross flow without net mass injection across...

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...
