Active Flow Control on Hurley's Free-Streamline Airfoil and Delta

Abstract

This was a joint effort by The University of Arizona (UA) and Arizona State University (ASU). The work was directed toward the application of active flow control to a free-streamline airfoil whose structural vibrations were integrated into the control strategy. The Phase I accomplishments reported here demonstrate that efficient tree-shear-layer control is possible and the low drag of the free-streamline airfoil is a reality.
