Improving the Lift Properties of a Wing in Takeoff and Landing by Means of a Boundary Layer Control System Using Ejector-Type Actuators

Аннотация

A device making it possible to control of the flow past a wing at low flight speeds is proposed. The device comprises an ejector-type actuator that simultaneous sucks the boundary layer on the upper surface and blows a gas jet in the vicinity of the trailing edge. Based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations, a mathematical model of an ejector-type actuator is developed and experimental studies are carried out.
