Book excerpt: One can change the effective shape of a surface without any change in its physical moldlines through the transient injection of momentum to control unsteady flow phenomena, such as separation. This research program consists of a system level evaluation of the potential benefits and costs of active flow control as applied to UAVs for separation control, development of innovative actuator concepts, and proof-of-concept experiments showing aerodynamic effectiveness. System-level benefits include increased gust margin, reduced takeoff field length, increased payload capacity, and greater maneuverability. Actuator research has resulted in two major innovations: the use of pulsed/modulated waveforms to increase the effectiveness of synthetic jet actuators and the development of compact, high power, combustion-driven actuator modules. The general performance of the combustion actuators are characterized in isolation, embedded in cross-flows up to M=0.7, and integrated on a two-dimensional wing model. In addition, since conventional machining would not be suitable for low-cost, large volume production, a simpler, MEMS-based, batch fabrication.

Download or read book Compressibility Turbulence and High Speed Flow written by Thomas B. Gatski and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compressibility, Turbulence and High Speed Flow introduces the reader to the field of compressible turbulence and compressible turbulent flows across a broad speed range, through a unique complimentary treatment of both the theoretical foundations and the measurement and analysis tools currently used. The book provides the reader with the necessary background and current trends in the theoretical and experimental aspects of compressible turbulent flows and compressible turbulence. Detailed derivations of the pertinent equations describing the motion of such turbulent flows is provided and an extensive discussion of the various approaches used in predicting both free shear and wall bounded flows is presented. Experimental measurement techniques common to the compressible flow regime are introduced with particular emphasis on the unique challenges presented by high speed flows. Both experimental and numerical simulation work is supplied throughout to provide the reader with an overall perspective of current trends. - An introduction to current techniques in compressible turbulent flow analysis - An approach that enables engineers to identify and solve complex compressible flow challenges - Prediction methodologies, including the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) method, scale filtered methods and direct numerical simulation (DNS) - Current strategies focusing on compressible flow control
