High Reynolds Number Separation Flow Control Using ZNMF Devices Sponsored by Air Force Office of Scientific Research Last Modified: Oct 22nd 2007 Investigators Lou Cattafesta (PI) Student Research Assistants John Griffin Description Objectives Measure the shedding frequencies behind a flat elliptical airfoil Using shear stress as an input, control the flow via synthetic jets Devise scaling laws to relate frequencies, velocity and separation control Goals Actively control separation on the surface of a flat plate at high Reynolds numbers using shear stress/synthetic jet feedback system.
