Development of an energy-efficient method of flow control at transonic speeds

Flow control method based on simultaneous local blowing/suction through perforated surfaces is proposed. The RANS simulation of the effect of blowing/suction through perforated surfaces on the boundary layer at a Mach number M = 1.4 was performed. Comparison of RANS and experimental data is carried out. It has been demonstrated that blowing/suction through a single hole has less effect on the shear layer as compared to the perforated surface. The compact electric compressor for the novel flow control device has been designed and manufactured.
