Aerodynamic performances and wake topology past a square cylinder in the interface of two different-velocity streams
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2022-06-02)
Article
Open AccessWe analyze the incompressible flow past a square cylinder immersed in the wake of an upstream splitter plate, which separates two streams of different velocities, UT (top) and UB (bottom). The Reynolds number associated ... -
Large eddy simulation of optimal synthetic jet actuation on a SD7003 airfoil in post-stall conditions
(2022-08)
Article
Open AccessAerodynamic performances may be optimised by the appropriate tuning of Active Flow Control (AFC) parameters. For the first time, we couple Genetic Algorithms (GA) with an unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) ... -
Aerodynamic efficiency improvement on a NACA-8412 airfoil via active flow control implementation
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2022-04-23)
Article
Open AccessThe present paper introduces a parametric optimization of several Active Flow Control (AFC) parameters applied to a NACA-8412 airfoil at a single post-stall Angle of Attack (AoA) of 15° and Reynolds number Re = 68.5×103. ... -
A new hybrid optimization method, application to a single objective active flow control test case
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2022-04-12)
Article
