Losses in the performance and effectiveness of optical systems are caused by turbulence. In particular, separated turbulent flow phenomena are present in several aero-optics applications. In an effort to reduce the adverse effects of turbulence, we are exploring the use of both open and closed-loop flow control. A series of experiments were performed in Syracuse University and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) facilities using two test models, a quarter- and ...
