Abstract

The paper deals with the influence of passive and active methods of flow control on the boundary layer of airfoils.  Vortex generator type turbulators and synthetic jet actuators were selected for experimental investigation and numerical modeling.  Strategies of applications and optimization were introduced and the advantages of adaptive control were briefly discussed on a case of a flapped sailplane airfoil.
