The present paper provides an experimental optimization of a NACA 4415 airfoil equipped
with vortex generators (VGs) to control its flow separation. To build this optimal configuration …

In fluid mechanics, drag related problems aim to reduce fuel consumption. This paper is
intended to provide guidance for drag reduction applications on cars. The review covers …

In this paper, an experimental study, aimed at delaying flow separation on a high-lift device
using a pulsed blowing excitation method, is reported. The main objective of this …

In this paper, the potential of a novel active flow control strategy by means of a modulated
pulse jet vortex generator to enhance high-lift performance is demonstrated on a two …

We investigated the use of dielectric-barrier-discharge plasma actuators as vortex
generators for flow separation control applications. Plasma actuators were placed at a yaw …

To explore the effect of the height of vortex generators (VGs) on the control effect of
boundary-layer flow, the vortex characteristics of a plate and the aerodynamic characteristics …

In the previous two parts of this study [G. Godard, M. Stanislas, Control of a decelerating
boundary layer. Part 1: Optimization of passive vortex generators, Aerospace Sci. Technol …

We present results of direct numerical simulations of a synthetic jet (SJ) based separation
control of flow past a NACA-0018 (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) airfoil, at 10 …

During the operation of wind turbines, flow separation appears at the blade roots, which
reduces the aerodynamic efficiency of the wind turbine. In order to effectively apply vortex …

Both blowing and suction crossing the boundary layer have been widely implemented on
the airfoils top surface to control the flow field. These techniques have significant effects on …
