Abstract
AbstractBlowing and suction type of active flow control techniques can be used to delay the flow separation on the flap and to enhance the aerodynamic performance of high‐lift configurations. Effective separation control and maximum enhancement in the mean lift coefficient are achieved by finding the optimal actuation parameters. The optimal set of actuation parameters can be obtained by combining the gradient based algorithms with discrete adjoints. In the present work, an unsteady discrete adjoint incompressible RANS solver is developed for the optimal active separation control. The adjoint solver is applied to the test case of active flow control on the flap of a 2D high‐lift configuration. Sensitivity gradients are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of unsteady adjoint RANS solver. (© 2013 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
