Numerical Investigations of Synthetic Jet Control for TAU0015 Airfoil

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aerodynamic performance of TAU0015 airfoil was investigated with synthetic jet control method. The simplified mathematical model of the active flow control was established with unsteady velocity boundary condition at the specific location of airfoil surface. The aerodynamic performance was simulated with synthetic jet and the efficiency of jet momentum coefficient was conducted. The result shows that the flow control model could perform the minor jet flow characteristics and higher jet momentum coefficient result better control efficiency.
