Description:This thesis investigates the performance of co-flow jet (CFJ) flow control and its applications
using experimental testing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.
First, the study examines the CFJ energy expenditure, lift enhancement, drag reduction,
stall margin increase, dynamic stall removal, and performance variation with Mach number.
These investigations are conducted for a variety of stationary airfoils, pitching airfoils,
and 3D CFJ wings. Then, the CFJ airfoil is applied to design an ultra-high wing loading
general aviation electric airplane (EA).
