Abstract
Open-loop active flow control is used to modify the spanwise distribution of circulation around an NACA 0012 and flat plate wing. The leading edge on both airfoils and tip regions of the NACA airfoil contain spatially localized actuators that can be independently controlled in terms of amplitude and frequency, allowing the spanwise distribution of circulation to be modified. Different orientations of the pulsed-blowing actuators were used to provide upstream, downstream, in-line with the flow, and outward span components of actuation. The actuation effectiveness was documented using force balance measurements of the lift and drag, smoke-wire visualization, surface pressure measurements and PIV velocity field measurements. Actuation with an upstream component is shown to be far more effective in reducing the separated region than actuation in the streamwise direction. Initial measurements of the change in circulation on the suction surface of the airfoil indicate that spatially localized forcing produces global changes over the wing, primarily associated with the reduction in size of the separated flow region.
