Aerodynamic Flow Vectoring of Wakes.
Abstract
The concepts of flow vectoring have long been established through the use of mechanical moving surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, flaps, etc. to redirect the local flow on an aircraft in order to obtain high-lift control and thrust-vectoring. Only recently has aerodynamic flow vectoring been investigated whereby the flow may be redirected without any movable surfaces. The present study has addressed the open loop control of a wake by means of trailing edge suction to enhance, or introduce any asymmetry of the mean flow of the wake to produce aerodynamic flow vectoring.
