Here you can find some of the interesting research results, pictures and videos of a number of recent research projects within ANTC.
The project investigated the use of pulse jet as actuation to delay the flow separation on a high-lift device (a flap of a 2-element wing). Iterative learning control is employed to optimise the performance and results show that a 20% lift enhancement is achievable.
Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuator is a type of actuator for aerodynamic flow control. This video domenstrates how a simple DBD plasma actuator works. The induced ionic wind can change the flow behaviour and hence enables lift enhancement or noise reduction.
This video shows multi-frequency acoustic waves traveling inside an aero-engine bypass duct and radiating in rear of the engine where a mean flow shear layer exists. The acoustic field is predicted using a newly developed linearised divergence equation model which admits multi-frequency acoustic contents and is unconditional stable in a mean flow shear layer.
