Active Flow Control Technologies -- Tools, Applications and Transition
Abstract
The objective of this effort is to conduct a workshop on Active Flow Control at the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion, Florida State University. Leaders from state, national, and international aerospace and aviation industries, academia as well as representatives from the Government Research Labs will gather for in-depth discussions on the direction and future of active flow control. The focus will be to discuss impediments to transition from TRL1 to TRL6. The symposium will feature invited talks and posters describing the cutting edge research being conducted by faculty, students, and scientists in partnership with industry and government agencies. Research and technology development projects discussed at the symposium will include, Actuator and Sensor Design, Subsonic/Supersonic Flow Control, and Experimental and Simulation Tools for AFC. This workshop will focus on several topics, including Actuator and Sensor Design, Subsonic/Supersonic Flow Control, and Experimental and Simulation Tools for Active Flow Control. Active Flow Control technology development has suffered in the past due to the lack appropriate attention paid to the barriers to successful transitions to fielded use. Additionally, significant investments in basic research have been made without the concomitant understanding of whether such efforts have a reasonable chance of success in the fielded systems that initially motivated the research. This workshop will bring together stakeholders from industry, academic and governmental organizations to discuss these barriers and propose potential solutions. This will not only impact the potential possibility of the inclusion of Active Flow Control technologies on fielded systems, but also increase understanding of the right basic research investment areas. The workshop will cover 2 days in October. Approximately 50-60 invited attendees will participate.
