A Methodology for Robust Load Reduction in Wind Turbine Blades Using Flow Control Devices

Energies, 2021
Decades of wind turbine research, development and installation have demonstrated reductions in levelized cost of energy (LCOE) resulting from turbines with larger rotor diameters and increased hub heights. Further reductions in LCOE by up-scaling turbine

Active Flow Control of Helicopter Rotor Based on Coflow Jet

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2022
When a helicopter rotor undergoes flow separation, the drag of the rotor increases substantially, as does the power demand, which seriously affects the aerodynamic performance and flight safety of the helicopter.

Active gaze control improves optic flow-based segmentation and steering. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
An observer traversing an environment actively relocates gaze to fixate objects. Evidence suggests that gaze is frequently directed toward the center of an object considered as target but more likely toward the edges of an object that appears as an ...

Magnetically Actuated Microvalves for Active Flow Control [PDF]

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2006
The reattachment of separated air flows can be actively controlled by blowing oscillatory air jets in the boundary layer, through submillimetric holes situated near the separation edge. To achieve such pulsed jets, a high flow rate, high actuation frequency microvalve was designed, fabricated and characterized.

A Numerical Investigation of Supersonic Combustion Flow Control by Nanosecond-Pulsed Actuations

Energies, 2023
The efficiency of supersonic combustion is largely dependent on inlet and injection parameters. Additional energy input is required in some off-design conditions, and nanosecond discharge actuation can be a solution.
