Keywords: aerodynamics (high lift, flow control, computational fluid dynamics, synthetic jet)

Employing numerical simulation synthetic-jet-actuator flow control is investigated to delay flow separation on the deployed flap of the DLR F15 wing. Parameters investigated are actuation frequency, jet direction and velocity as well as jet location.
