| Modern commercial aviation faces increasing demands for aerodynamic efficiency and safety, especially during critical phases like takeoff and landing. In these conditions, aircraft operate at low speeds and high angles of attack, where flow separation and loss of lift are significant challenges.
This project focuses on applying Active Flow Control (AFC) techniques, such as synthetic jets or controlled blowing/suction, to a supercritical airfoil, aiming to delay flow separation and improve aerodynamic performance near stall conditions. The research will rely on CFD simulations using Nek5000 and/or NekRS to evaluate how different AFC configurations impact lift and drag coefficients under realistic low-speed, high-incidence flight conditions. Work plan: 1) Study of the state of the art on flow separation and AFC techniques. 2) Selection of a suitable supercritical airfoil. 3) Setup of the CFD simulation framework using Nek5000/NekRS. 4) Mesh generation and numerical validation. 5) Initial simulations to identify where and how flow separation occurs. 6) Design and implementation of AFC configurations. 7) Evaluation of aerodynamic performance improvements. |
