Numerical Simulation of Active Separation Control
Thursday, July 8th, 1:30-2:30 PM, DWE 2536
Active flow control has been investigated extensively in recent years in order to improve the performance or reduce the losses in engineering systems. One important area of flow control applications is flow separation. Separation can be induced either by an adverse pressure gradient or by sudden changes in the geometry, such as sharp edges. Two examples of active separation control applications will be shown. The first one uses periodic blowing and suction (synthetic jet and pulsed blowing) to control the pressure-induced separation on the trailing edge flap of a high-lift system. The second approach uses steady blowing, steady suction or synthetic jet actuation in order to control the wake and reduce the drag of a road vehicle model.
