Outline of Final Research Achievements

Purpose of this study is (1) Innovation of wind tunnel testing by introducing multiobjective design exploration used in combination with numerical simulation such as computational fluid dynamics into wind tunnel testing and (2) application of the proposed method to the wind tunnel testing of fluid control by the plasma actuator to clarify the influence of each parameter of the plasma actuator. Wind tunnel experiment based on multiobjective design exploration show its efficiency in parametric study. We also succeeded in obtaining useful information on the flow separation control around an airfoil by the plasma actuator.
