Abstract

The advent of modern simulation and experimental methods has so far contributed great insights in the flow physics of rotorcraft flows. Starting from this solid base, flow control methods are now emerging that offer extended range of operation to lifting surfaces. This chapter compares several flow control ideas with the aim to identify one or more candidate methods for deployment on a rotor. For rotor aerofoils, any method offering higher lift to drag ratio without severe penalties in pitching moment is going to affect the performance of the rotor system in a positive way. The chapter highlights the merits of the Gurney flap due to its effectiveness and potential for practical implementation.
