    Performance improvement of a supercritical airfoil by a multi-point optimized shock control channel

    , Article Flow, Turbulence and Combustion ; 2017 , Pages 1-29 ; 13866184 (ISSN) Nejati, A ; Mazaheri, K ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    A shock control channel (SCC) is a flow control method introduced here to control the shock wave/boundarylayer interaction (SWBLI) in order to reduce the resulting wave drag in transonic flows. An SCC transfers an appropriate amount of mass and momentum from downstream of the shock wave location to its upstream to decrease the pressure gradient across the shock wave and as a result the shock-wave strength is reduced. Here, a multi-point optimization method under a constant-lift-coefficient constraint is used to find the optimum design of the SCC. This flow control method is implemented on a RAE-2822 supercritical airfoil for a wide range of off-design transonic Mach numbers. The RANS flow...
