Design of Vortex Generator Flow Control in Inlets

摘要

This article summarizes the results of an optimization study of a microvortex generator flow control in an inlet. Five parameters optimization was carried out using the classical design of experiment method. Two main objectives were in focus: first, to develop the methodology and skills necessary to conduct a design of experiment optimization study in area of the flow control; and second, to develop the procedures which would be used during design of vortex generator flow control in inlets. New information about the dependency of the vortex generator flow control in inlet on its geometrical parameters were obtained. Several interesting configurations were located. The parameters of optimal settings were then used to set up the vortex generator installation in a generic inlet.
