...Mohamed Arif Raj Mohamed; Rathiya S Purpose This study aims to reduce the drag of a square-back vehicle which has poor aerodynamic performance due to its abrupt flow separation and large wake at the rear end. To reduce drag on a square-back vehicle, an innovative flow control system with a fan...

.../approach The understanding of the flow control mechanism is normally caused by the unsteady interactions between the aircraft structure and the turbulent flows as well as some studies have shown, surface roughness can significantly influence the fluid dynamics by inducing perturbations in the velocity...

... step changes in performance are not expected from pure passive shape design. However, active flow control is a key technology, which has the potential to realize a drastic step change in performance. Flow control targets two major goals: low speed performance enhancements mainly for start and landing...
