Flow Control for Unsteady and Separated Flows and Turbulent Mixing

Abstract

A coordinated set of experimental research projects on flow control is being conducted by a team with experience in fluid mechanics and automatic control. The primary objective of this work is to develop new ways to control flows of technical interest and a generic approach to the design of flow control systems. Included are studies of mixing enhancement by excitation of jets, active control of unsteady turbulent boundary layers and separated flows, and active control of the vortical flow over delta wings using leading-edge blowing.
