PLASMA ACTUATION FOR IMPROVED AIRCRAFT AERODYNAMICS

The proposed MITACS internship project is an extension of an existing research collaboration in advanced aerodynamic flow control concepts with electro-fluidic actuators between École Polytechnique de Montréal (Polytechnique) and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT-K). The former party is responsible for wind tunnel experiments and the latter party for advanced flow simulations with a world-leading DNS CFD code. The intern coming from Polytechnique will assist in validating the DNS code through flow simulations at wind tunnel test conditions and comparison with the experimental data he had himself produced at Polytechnique as part of his Master’s research. The expected outcomes are a validated code ready for the next phase of the research, a scientific publication and closer collaboration and more student exchanges between Polytechnique and IIT-K.
