Abstract:

This study was conducted to investigate experimentally the change in airfoil characteristics brought about by the simultaneous application of boundary layer control through leading edge blowing and circulation control through trailing edge suction, to detect the changes in lift resulting from leading edge blowing, to determine if any benefit could be derived by simultaneously applying trailing edge suction at a mass flow rate equal to that of the blowing, and to investigate the associated changes in pressure drag and pitching moment.
