De la contraportada

This book explores the outcomes on flow control research activities carried out within the framework of two EU-funded projects focused on training-through-research of Marie Sklodowska-Curie doctoral students. The main goal of the projects described in this monograph is to assess the potential of the passive- and active-flow control methods for reduction of fuel consumption by a helicopter. The research scope encompasses the fields of structural dynamics, fluid flow dynamics, and actuators with control. Research featured in this volume demonstrates an experimental and numerical approach with a strong emphasis on the verification and validation of numerical models. The book is ideal for engineers, students, and researchers interested in the multidisciplinary field of flow control.

• Provides highly relevant and up-to-date information on the topic of flow control;
• Includes assessments of a wide range of flow-control technologies and application examples for fixed and rotary-wing configurations;
• Reinforces reader understanding with case studies based on real aircraft;
• Explains modelling methodologies and strategies for flow control of separated flows and numerous experimental measurement results on the real structures;
• Illustrates new developments in actuator technology.
