This contribution summarizes the flow control research results obtained at TU Braunschweig and their implication for control on high-lift devices. The superordinate aim of the examination is the control of leading-edge stall on a two-element airfoil by means of dynamic 3D actuators. This is of great practical interest in order to increase the maximum angle of attack and/or the lift coefficient and to alter the drag coefficient in takeoff and landing configuration of future aircrafts. To reach this aim, several pneumatic actuators were designed and systematically tested to determine their characteristics and impulse response on the input signal at first. Secondly, their potential for active flow control was investigated in a small wind tunnel. Thirdly, the interaction of promising actuator concepts was studied in detail to examine the benefit of actuator arrays. Finally, the experiences were combined to examine the potential of the actuators in delaying leading edge separation on a generic airfoil. Therefore, an appropriate airfoil was designed, built and equipped with the developed actuator technology and investigated in a large wind tunnel. The results illuminate the potential of dynamic actuators for high-lift applications and the effect of different actuator parameters (actuator design, orientation, spacing and position as well as amplitude, frequency and duty-cycle). Furthermore, practical actuator designs and operation rules an deduced from the examination. In the future they may be assistant to assign the results on real aircraft configurations.
