Abstract
Experiments study the Hydrofoil Lift Characteristic under the Action of Lorentz Force. With the streamwise wall-parallel Lorentz force applied on the whole suction side of the hydrofoil, The results show that the flow separation can be suppressed completely and the lift of hydrofoil is increased. The higher the Lorentz force, the larger the lift. It is also demonstrated that the Lorentz force actuator equipped on the front of the hydrofoil is more effective on the lift increase than that equipped on the tail.
