Abstract

An experimental investigation of tangential slot blowing was performed on a generic chined forebody. Lowspeed measurements of lateral forces and moments were made on the forebody at high angles of attack (0 deg < a < 45 deg). Tangential slot blowing was investigated as a means of forebody flow control to generate side force and yawing moment levels capable of overcoming flow asymmetries. The effects of jet mass flow ratio and jet longitudinal position were studied. Limited flowfield visualization was also conducted in order to gain a better understanding of the flowfield characteristics. Tangential slot blowing was found to overcome the natural flow asymmetry of the forebody throughout the angle-of-attack range studied.
