title = "A technique for low input flow control actuation",
abstract = "A low input actuation method has been developed in order to enhance the efficiency of Active Flow Control systems. The actuation concept is derived from gas dynamics principles and it is based on thermal control of the air supply. It is shown that higher air supply temperature results in reduced mass flow with no degradation in Active Flow Control performance. A computational method has been used to systematically investigate the hot air supply approach for isolated blowing actuators and fluidic oscillators. Subsequently, the thermal control concept has been computationally evaluated for airplane applications. These include enhanced control authority of a vertical tail and an airplane high-lift system, confirming the trends observed from the gas dynamics analysis with regard to reduced actuation input as a function of supply temperature.",
