Specific Challenge:
The objective is to use preferably existing flow control concepts in combination with each other and/or in innovative arrangements to achieve better aerodynamic effectiveness or system efficiency. The concepts will be studied with numerical simulations and as prototypes in experiments on a generic configuration showing similar flow physics as the engine/pylon configuration. After a successful validation the most promising actuation concepts should be tested integrated as real-scale prototypes into a large WT model representative for the engine/pylon configuration at realistic Reynolds number to give prove about the results in an industrial environment. |
