WP2 Workshop in Amsterdam
Events 14th April, 2014
On April 3 and 4 the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR in Amsterdam was host of an AFLoNext workshop of WP2.
Participants came from 10 different countries. In WP2 Active Flow Control (AFC)
technologies are developed for two aircraft configurations: for the flow around
the outer wing (TS2) and for the flow around the wing-pylon junction (TS3). In
the workshop participants presented results of CFD simulations for these
configurations without active flow control. The results clearly show flow
separation and decrease of aerodynamic performance. In the next phase of the
project the participants will apply CFD simulations to improve the performance
by applying two types of AFC technologies: Pulsed-jet actuation and
Synthetic-jet actuation. These actuators will be developed and implemented in
wind tunnel models by participants in WP2. Finally, the expected improvements
will be verified by means of wind tunnel measurements.
