Notes regarding the definition and applicability of supercirculation
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The term supercirculation refers to an active, fluidic circulation control method used for a variety of aeronautical applications. In particular, this paper refers to supercirculation of entrainment wings. Using experimental data as well as some basic analytical equations, a mathematical expression is used to define supercirculation; subsequently an optimization calculation is provided for the minimal blowing pressure ratio needed for achieving supercirculation. Also, based on the proposed definition, a screening equation is determined in order to discern whether or not a certain airfoil has a geometry suited for supercirculation.
