Drag reduction plays a major role in future aircraft design in order to lower emissions in
aviation. In transonic flight, the transonic shock induces wave drag and thus increases the …

This paper presents the results of a Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) study of the response of
a 3D flexible panel to shock impingement with control of cavity pressure. Experiments were …

Adaptive shock control bumps can exploit the on-design drag-reducing potential of 2D
bumps, while mitigating their off-design performance deterioration through geometric …

Flexible panels deforming under pressure loads have been suggested as a passive form of
adaptive oblique shock control. This study investigates oblique shock–boundary-layer …

A numerical investigation into the efficacy of surface deformed activated shock control
bumps (SCBs) for the purpose of transonic shock-buffet alleviation has been carried out. The …
