Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibility of controlling the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils with the help of one-sided pulsed-periodic energy supply is studied. The change in the flow structure near the airfoil and its aerodynamic characteristics are determined as functions of the magnitude of energy supply and of the energy-supply location by means of the numerical solution of two-dimensional unsteady equations of gas dynamics. It is demonstrated that external energy supply can substantially improve the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils with a high lift-to-drag ratio. The moment characteristics of the airfoil are found.
