Development and Application of Laser-Induced Energy Deposition for Flow Control of Edney Type IV Interactions

Abstract

This report describes the research activities conducted at the University of Manchester in this project. A comprehensive literature survey of the relevant phenomena and subsequent interactions is presented along with a description of the wind tunnel facility calibration. Experimental techniques and methodologies are discussed, including reference to the range of their applicability in the campaign. Model designs, experimental setup, and preliminary analysis of the flow field are presented. The following techniques have already been used in the experimental programme: high speed schlieren photography, infrared thermography and force measurements taken from a three-component balance.
