Experimental studies and control of wall-bounded and separated shear layer flows

最近，运输业，特别是航空业受到越来越多的社会和政治压力，要求减少它们对环境的影响和对全球变暖的贡献。主动流量控制已被确定为产生模式转变的关键因素，以满足日益严格的排放环境标准，同时保持增长。该研究的重点是研究分离和有壁剪切层的基本流动动力学，以及如何控制这种现象来改善流动特性，以减少阻力和有害排放。总体目标是在实验框架中开发和实施主动流量控制策略，无论是开放的还是闭环的，以期在工业中部署。

Recently, there has been an increasing amount of social and political pressure placed on transport industries, in particular aviation, to reduce their impact on the environment and contribution to global warming. Active flow control has been identified as a key factor to produce the paradigm shift required to meet increasingly stringent environmental standards on emissions, while sustaining growth. The focus of the proposed research is to investigate the fundamental flow dynamics of separated and wall-bounded shear layers, and how such phenomena can be manipulated to improve flow characteristics in order to reduce drag and harmful emissions. The overarching aim is the development and implementation of active flow control strategies, either open or closed-loop, in an experimental framework, with a view to deployment in industry.
