Active flow control (AFC) encompasses a range of techniques designed to alter fluid flow characteristics in real time by introducing targeted actuation. Central to many of these methods are fluidic ...

General Electric is investigating a range of fluidic techniques for active flow and combustion control, ranging from synthetic jets to cold plasma. The ability to effect large flow changes with small ...

Ming Zheng, Graham T. Reader, Dong Wang, Jun Zuo, Meiping Wang, Edward A. Mirosh, Arie van der Lee and Benlin Liu One-dimensional transient modeling techniques are adapted to analyze the thermal ...

Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences is advancing to the next stage of a US military experiment aimed at developing novel methods of aircraft flight control. The Control of Revolutionary Aircraft ...

Unsteady Aerodynamics • Active and Passive Flow Control Techniques • Turbulence • Fluid-Structure Interactions • Wind Energy • Wildland Fire and Combustion Flows • Land-Atomosphere Interactions ...

Aurora Flight Sciences is quietly turning a radical research sketch into metal, bolting on 30 ft wings that will help prove whether a jet can steer with air instead of moving parts. The X-65, built ...

It'll fly instead using Active Flow Control (AFC), using a series of nozzle arrays along the wings connected to a pressurized air system, capable of blowing controlled bursts of air that can directly ...
