Abstract

Recently, as a passive flow control method, bleeding technique allowing flow of upstream towards suction side by interior passages, has been utilized on non-slender delta wing planforms, where effective geometries can enhance the flow field characteristics. In order to quantify the effect of the flow control, estimation of the momentum induced by the technique is of significant importance in addition to quantified aerodynamic favor. In the current work, passive bleeding momentum coefficient estimation method is developed and presented based on surface pressure measurements by utilizing Bernoulli equation and loss coefficient for a 45 degrees swept non-slender delta wing. For the characterization of the presented technique in-situ hot wire measurements were performed allowing to extract across bleed slot pressure loss coefficient. Results represent that proposed approach can be used to compute the bleeding momentum where further advancements might lead to an important control parameter for potential active bleeding systems in different flow regimes.
