Riblets with longitudinal grooves along the streamwise direction have been used as an effective flow control technique for drag reduction. A flexible micro-riblet with v-grooves of peak-to-peak spacing of $300{\mu}m$ was made using a MEMS fabrication process of PDMS replica. The flexible micro-riblet was attached on the whole surface of a NACA0012 airfoil with which grooves are aligned with the streamwise direction. The riblet surface reduces drag coefficient about $7.9{\%}\;at\;U_o=3.3m/s$, however, it increases drag about $8{\%}\;at\;U_o=7.0m/s$, compared with the smooth airfoil without riblets. The near wake has been investigated experimentally far the cases of drag reduction ($U_o\;=\;3.3 m/s$) and drag increase ($U_o\;=\;7 m/s$). Five hundred instantaneous velocity fields were measured for each experimental condition using the cross-correlation PIV velocity field measurement technique. The instantaneous velocity fields were ensemble averaged to get spatial distribution of turbulent statistics such as turbulent kinetic energy. The experimental results were compared with those of a smooth airfoil under the same flow condition. The micro-riblet surface influences the near wake flow structure largely, especially in the region near the body surface

The objective of this study is to increase lift and decrease drag of an airfoil at high angles of attack by delaying flow separation with piezo-ceramic actuators. The airfoil used is NACA 0012 and its chord length is 0.3m. An experiment is performed at the freestream velocity of 15m/s at which the Reynolds number based on the chord length is $2{\times}10^5$. Seven rectangular actuators are attached to the airfoil surface and move up and down based on the electric signal. Drag and lift are measured using an in-house two-dimensional force-balance and the surface pressures are also measured. At the attack angle of $16^{\circ}$, the separation point is delayed downstream due to momentum addition induced by the movement of the actuators. Lift is increased by 10%, drag is reduced by 37%, and the efficiency is increased up to 170%. The flow fields with and without control are visualized using the smoke-wire and tuft techniques.

In this paper we present an application to airfoil design of an optimum design method based on optimal control theory. The method used here transforms the design problem by way of a change of variable into an optimal control problem for a distributed system with Neumann boundary control. This results in a set of variational inequalities which is solved by adding a penalty term to the differential equation. This si inturn solved by a finite element method.

타원형 날개꼴의 공력 특성에 브로잉 제트 방식과 제트 방향의 영향에 대하여 실험을 통하여 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구는 타원형 날개꼴의 박리제어에 있어서 브로잉 제트적용에 관한 기본 데이터를 축적하는데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에서는 날개면에서의 압력 분포, 브로잉 제트 출구에서의 유속 분포 및 공력 자료를 제공하였다. 타원형 날개꼴에 대한 실험은 레이놀즈수 $8.22{\times}10^5$에서 수행하였다. 펄스제트는 후실속각 이후에 공력 특성을 향상시키는 효과를 보여 주었다. 즉, 펄스제트는 감소된 질량유동율로 상당히 높은 양력을 발생하였다. 제트 방향도 박리제어의 주요 파라미터임을 보였다. 양의 제트각은 박리를 지연시키거나 억제하였고, 음의 제트각은 박리를 오히려 촉진시켰다.

Aeroelastic response and control of airfoil-flap system exposed to sonic-boom, blast and gust loads in an incompressible subsonic flowfield are addressed. Analytical analysis and pertinent numerical simulations of the aeroelastic response of 3-DOF airfoil featuring plunging-pitching-flapping coupled motion subjected to gust and explosive pressures in terms of important characteristic parameters specifying configuration envelope are presented. The comparisons of uncontrolled aeroelastic response with controlled one of the wing obtained by feedback control methodology are supplied, which is implemented through the flap torque to suppress the flutter instability and enhance the subcritical aeroelastic response to time-dependent excitations.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamic stall characteristics of an elliptic airfoil when subject to constant pitch motions. In this study, which was motivated by the pressing need for a greater understanding of the reduced frequency$({\kappa})$ effects on flow patterns of elliptic airfoil, the various reduced frequencies were considered. The result confirms that the reduced frequency has a profound effects on the flow patterns. The increase of ${\kappa}$ accelerate the separation bubble bursting process up to ${\kappa}=0.10$, then diminish with further increase in ${\kappa}$. Compared with static condition, the dynamic pitching airfoil delays stall angle approximate $4{\circ}{\sim}5{\circ}$ during pitch-up stroke for ${\kappa}=0.10$. Results from this qualitative analysis provided valuable insight Into the control of dynamics stall.

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the effects of attached cylindrical tripwires on the aerodynamic performance. The research was carried out with a simple two-dimensional (2-D) rectangular airfoil fabricated from thin flat-plate aluminium, with elliptical leading and trailing edges. Tripwires of varying widths and thicknesses, and attack angles of $-5^{\circ}{\sim}20^{\circ}$ were used to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics (e.g. lift and drag forces) of the airfoil. We found that attaching the tripwires to the lower surface of the airfoil enhanced the lift force and increased the lift-to-drag ratio for low attack angles. However, attaching the tripwires to the upper surface tended to have the opposite effects. Moreover, we found that attaching the tripwires to the trailing edge had similar effects as a Gurney flap. The aerodynamic characteristics of the flat-plate airfoil with tripwires can be used to develop passive control devices for aircraft wings in order to increase their aerodynamic performance when gliding at low attack angles.

The wake behavior of extended flat plate and serration in the trailing edge of S809 airfoil is presented in this experimental study using wind tunnel testing. The clustering of wind turbines in wind parks has recently been a pressing issue, due to the expected increase in power output and deciding the number of wind turbines to be installed. One of the prominent factors which influence the performance of the subsequent wind turbines is the downstream wake characteristics. A series of wind tunnel investigations were performed to assess the downstream near wake characteristics of the S809 airfoil at various angles of attack corresponding to the Reynolds Number Re = 2.02 × 105. These experimental results revealed the complex nature of the downstream near wake characteristics featuring substantial asymmetry arising out of the incoherent flow separations prevailing over the suction and the pressure sides of the airfoil. Based on the experimental results, it is found that the wake width and the downstream velocity ratio decrease with an increase in the angle of attack. Nonetheless, the dissipation length and downstream velocity ratio increases proportionally in the downstream direction. Additionally, attempts were made to understand the physical nature of the near wake characteristics at 1C, 2C, 3C and 4C downstream locations.

The airfoil design optimization procedures based on the Navier-Stokes equations were developed, This procedure enables more realistic and practical transonic airfoil designs. The modified Hicks-Henne functions were used to generate the shape of airfoils. Five Hick-Henne functions were used to design upper surface of airfoil only. To enhance the ability of Hick-Henne function to generate various airfoil shape with limited number of functions, the positions of control points were adjusted through optimization procedure. The design procedure was applied to the single-point design for the drag minimization problem with lift and area constraints. The result shows the capability of the procedure to generate much realistic airfoils with very small drag-creep in the low transonic regime. This is mainly due to the viscosity effect of Navier-Stokes flow analysis. However, in the higher transonic range tile drag-creep appears. The multi-point design is shown to be an effective way to avoid the drag-creep and improve off-design performance which is very similar in the Euler design.

타원형 단면 에어포일의 블로잉 제트에 의한 유동박리 제어효과에 대한 연구를 레이놀즈수 Rec=7.84×105에서 실험적 방법으로 수행하였다. 블로잉 제트는 에어포일 내부의 공기실에 있는 압축공기를 앞전 혹은 뒷전에 위치한 좁은 제트슬롯을 통하여 분출시켰다. 실험결과 블로잉은 날개면 압력회복으로 수직력을 증가시킴으로써 박리 유동을 제어할 수 있음을 보였다. 블로잉에 의한 수직력의 상승은 상대적으로 높은 받음각에서 더욱 효과가 컸으며 낮은 받음각에서는 감소되었다. 현 연구조건에서 수직력을 상승시키는데 가장 효과적인 블로잉 방식은 앞전에서의 90° 방향의 간헐제트이었다. 특히, 간헐제트가 부여된 경우 실속 받음각을 약 2°-3° 지연시킬 수 있었다. 연속제트와 간헐제트 모두 에어포일의 공력특성과 성능을 향상시킴으로써 유동박리 제어에 직접적이고 유효한 방법임을 입증하였다.
