The effects of jet width on blowing and suction flow control were evaluated for a NACA 0012 airfoil. RANS equations were employed in conjunction with a Menter's shear stress turbulent model. Tangential and perpendicular blowing at the trailing edge and perpendicular suction at the leading edge were applied on the airfoil upper surface. The jet widths were varied from 1.5% to 4% of the chord length, and the jet velocity was 0.3 and 0.5 of the free-stream velocity. Results of this study demonstrated that when the blowing jet width increases, the lift-to-drag ratio rises continuously in tangential blowing and decreases quasi-linearly in perpendicular blowing. The jet widths of 3.5% and 4% of the chord length are the most effective amounts for tangential blowing, and smaller jet widths are more effective for perpendicular blowing. The lift-to-drag ratio improves when the suction jet width increases and reaches its maximum value at 2.5% of the chord length.

Effects of pressure and carbon dioxide, hydrogen and nitrogen concentration on laminar burning velocities and NO formation of methane-air mixtures. AbstractIn this research we have studied the effects of increasing pressure and adding carbon dioxide, hydrogen and nitrogen to Methane-air mixture on premixed laminar burning velocity and NO formation in experimentally and numerically methods. Equivalence ratio was considered within 0.7 to 1.3 for initial pressure between 0.1 to 0.5 MPa and initial temperature was separately considered 298 K. Mole fractions of carbon dioxide, hydrogen and nitrogen were regarded in mixture from 0 to 0.2. Heat flux method was used for measurement of burning velocities of Methane-air mixtures diluted with CO2 and N2. Experimental results were compared to the calculations using a detailed chemical kinetic scheme (GRI-MECH 3.0). At first, the results in atmosphere pressure for Methane-air mixture were calculated and it was compared with the results of literature. Results were in good agreement with published data in the literature. Afterwards, by adding carbon dioxide and nitrogen to Methane-air mixture, we witnessed that laminar burning velocity was decreased, whereas by increasing hydrogen, the laminar burning velocity was increased. Finally, the results showed that by increasing the pressure, the premixed laminar burning velocity decreased for all mixtures and NO formation indicates considerable increase, whereas the laminar flame thickness decreases.
