Active flow control by a jet over a 12.5% thick elliptic profile is investigated numerically. Unsteady flowfields are calculated with a Navier Stokes solver. The numerical method is first validated without the jet and with the presence of steady-blowing and pulsating jets. Three jet types, namely steady, pulsating and synthetic jets, are next compared with each other and it is shown that the most drag reduction is achieved by a synthetic jet and the most lift enhancement is achieved by a steady jet. The influences of the jet location, the jet velocity, the jet frequency, the jet slot length and the jet angle on the flowfield is parametrically studied. It is shown that the jet location and the jet velocity are the most effective parameters. The jet parameters are optimized to minimize the drag coefficient while keeping the jet power constant. The drag is reduced by 32.5% for the angle of attack 0 and by 24% for the angle of attack 4.

Near-surface topology and flow structure on a delta wing
Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Rockwell, D (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2004-02-01)
The streamlines, and the corresponding patterns of velocity and vorticity, are characterized on a plane immediately adjacent to the surface of a delta wing using a laser-based technique of high-image-density particle image velocimetry. This technique provides the sequence of instantaneous states, as well as the corresponding time-averaged state, of the near-surface streamline topology and the associated critical points. These topological features are interpreted in terms of patterns of averaged and unsteady...
Computational study of subsonic flow over a delta canard-wing-body configuration
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1998-07-01)
Subsonic flowfields over a close-coupled, delta canard-wing-body configuration at angles of attack of 20, 24,2, and 30 deg are computed using the OVERFLOW Navier-Stokes solver Computed flowfields are presented in terms of particle traces, surface streamlines, and leeward-side surface pressure distributions for the canard-on and -off configurations. The interaction between the canard and the wing vortices, wing vortex breakdown, and the influence of the canard on vortex breakdown are identified, The comparis...
Simulation of Rapidly Maneuvering Airfoils with Synthetic Jet Actuators
Jee, SolKeun; Lopez Mejia, Omar D.; Moser, Robert D.; Muse, Jonathan A.; Kutay, Ali Türker; Calise, Anthony J. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2013-08-01)
Synthetic jet actuators are investigated for rapidly maneuvering airfoils that are regulated by a closed-loop control system. To support active flow-control simulations performed here, the closed-loop system and vehicle dynamics are coupled with computational fluid dynamics. High-frequency sinusoidal pitching simulations with and without synthetic jet actuation indicate that the current synthetic jet actuators provide bidirectional change in aerodynamic forces during rapid maneuvers whose time scales are of...
High-lift design optimization using Navier-Stokes equations
Eyi, Sinan; Rogers, SE; Kwak, D (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1996-05-01)
This article presents a design optimization method for maximizing lift without increasing the drag of multielement airfoils at takeoff and landing configurations. It uses an incompressible Navier-Stokes dow solver (INS2D), a chimera overlaid grid system (PEGSUS), and a constrained numerical optimizer (DOT). Aerodynamic sensitivity derivatives are obtained using finite differencing. The method is first validated with single-clement airfoil designs and then applied to three-element airfoil designs. Reliable d...
Estimation of pico-satellite attitude dynamics and external torques via Unscented Kalman Filter
Söken, Halil Ersin (FapUNIFESP (SciELO), 2014-01-01)
In this study, an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm is designed for estimating the attitude of a picosatellite and the in-orbit external disturbance torques. The estimation vector is formed by the satellite's attitude, angular rates, and the unknown constant components of the external disturbance torques acting on the satellite. The gravity gradient torque, residual magnetic moment, sun radiation pressure and aerodynamic drag are all included in the estimated external disturbance torque vector. The sa...
