Abstract:
An experimental flow control technique is given in this paper to study the jet effect on the coflow jet’s airfoil with injection and suction and
compared with the jet-off condition. The airfoil is CFJ0025-065-196, and the Reynolds number based on the airfoil’s chord length is 105. To
measure the turbulence components of flow, a hot wire anemometry apparatus in a wind tunnel has been used. In this paper, the effect of the
average velocity and boundary layer thickness on the coflow jet’s airfoil is analyzed. The test is done for two different coflow velocities and for
different angles of attack. It is also shown that, by increasing the velocity difference between the jet and the main flow, separation is delayed,
and this delay can be preserved by raising coflow velocity at higher angles of attack. So, this flow control method has a good efficiency, and it
is possible to reach higher numbers of lift and lower numbers of drag coefficients.
