This work presents an investigation of synthetic jet actuation for separation control over wings/airfoils, in steady and unsteady flows, the development of high-power, compact synthetic jet actuators (SJA) for flow separation control, the modeling and control of such actuators and the modeling and control of the resulting SJA-controlled aerodynamics and wing/airfoil, respectively. The developed actuator is compact enough to fit in the interior of a NACAOOl5 profiled wing with a ...
This report presents our work in the development of fast-response, high-accuracy multi-sensor pressure probes of miniature size for velocity and pressure measurement in unsteady and turbulent flowfields, with emphasis on MEMS-based pressure probes. The fabrication and calibration (theoretical and experimental) of miniature (order of 1mm to 2mm in diameter) 5-sensor hemispherical-tip probes, are discussed. The first stages of the development process have been to fabricate a sensitive MEMS pressure sensor ...
