Flow Control using Air-jet to Improve the Aerodynamic Performance of a Multi-element Airfoil

Description

Aerodynamic flow control is an essential technique in modern aircraft design, aimed at improving efficiency, enhancing lift, reducing drag, and delaying stall. Among the various methods of active flow control (AFC), air-jet technology stands out for its ability to manipulate airflow effectively around airfoils, particularly in multi-element configurations. By applying steady blowing through air-jet actuators, the onset of flow separation is delayed, and turbulence is controlled, leading to significant improvements in the lift-to-drag ratio and overall aerodynamic performance. 🌪️🚀

This course, Flow Control using Air-jet to Improve the Aerodynamic Performance of a Multi-element Airfoil, delves into the theoretical foundations and practical applications of air-jet flow control in optimizing airfoil performance. Through the study of the NLR 7301 supercritical airfoil, this course will explore the effects of various jet parameters—including jet direction, location, and momentum coefficient—on aerodynamic behavior. You will learn how these parameters impact flow separation, lift, drag, and stall characteristics, with an emphasis on enhancing performance in high-stress aerodynamic scenarios. 🛠️🔧

Structured to cater to both beginners and those looking to deepen their expertise, this course combines fundamental aerodynamic principles, numerical simulation techniques, and real-world case studies. By the end, you will be equipped with the knowledge to analyze, design, and implement air-jet flow control strategies, optimizing multi-element airfoils for improved aerodynamic performance in real-world applications. 📊💡
