Wing leading edge active flow concept analysis

This research is focused on substitution of commonly used High-Lift devices by active flow control on the wing leading edge. The analysis is done by CFD tools with use of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method. In the beginning of the research, commonly used High-Lift devices are described. Solver setting and its explanation together with verification and validation is described in the following chapters. An active flow control concept is testing at the LS(1)-0413 airfoil, for 5 different positions of slots, two different slots widths (h/c= 0,0025 and 0,005) and two different blowing velocities (v_Jv_=2,22 and 4,44). In the end of this paper, physical phenomena of blowing is described together with evaluation of different cases. The best case is compared with Fowler and slotted flap at Reynolds number 2,2 million
