    摘要: A method and device utilizes boundary layer separation control for the purpose of wake vortex alleviation. Trailing vortices are manipulated by varying the spanwise vortex-sheet strength via either passive or active boundary layer separation control. Boundary layer separation can be diminished or promoted to vary vortex properties, such as locations and strengths, so as to generate wake signatures that are unstable, resulting in complex three-dimensional interaction and rapid destruction of vortex coherence in the wake. Separation control can be achieved in either a time dependent or a time-invariant mode.

    摘要: The present invention relates to enhancing performance of fans and propellers using outsized Gurney flaps. Specifically, the current invention proposes the application of 'outsized Gurney flaps' (OGFs) to the trailing-edges of fan blades. According to an exemplary embodiment of the current invention, the Gurney flaps are larger than 10% of the fan blade chord length. Attaching OGFs is not only non-obvious; it seems counterintuitive, because it is akin to placing a large bluff body onto a flow. Preliminary experimental data acquired at Reynolds numbers typically exist during fan operation on idealized blade profiles showed a 100% increase in the generated lift and 40% to 60% increase in aerodynamic efficiency. This translates to significant improvements in fan performance at a given rpm, and/or significant saving in power and noise reduction for the same aerodynamic performance. The current invention may increase performance, may decrease energy consumption, may decrease size, may decrease cost, and may increase performance of: computer cooling fans, personal upright and ceiling fans, refrigeration fans, air conditioning fans, automotive fans, ventilation, vacuuming, small-scale propellers, etc.

    摘要: The current invention provides significant performance improvements or significant energy savings for fans used in these applications: personal, industrial and automotive cooling, ventilation, vacuuming and dust removal, inflating, computer component cooling, propulsors for unmanned and manned air vehicles, propulsors for airboats, air-cushion vehicles, airships and model aircraft. Additionally, the invention provides higher performance such as higher lift and higher lift efficiency to small air vehicles. These advantages are achieved by using plasma actuators to provide active flow control effectors into thin fan blades and wing.
