Abstract
The possibility of controlling the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils with the help of local pulsed-periodic energy addition into the flow near the airfoil contour at transonic flight regimes is considered. By means of the numerical solution of two-dimensional unsteady equations of gas dynamics, changes in the flow structure and wave drag of a symmetric airfoil due to changes in localization and shape of energy-addition zones are examined. It is shown that the considered method of controlling airfoil characteristics in transonic flow regimes is rather promising. For a zero angle of attack, the greatest decrease in wave drag is obtained with energy addition at the trailing edge of the airfoil.
