CFD study of an active flow control (AFC) system on a full-scale vertical tail section of an airplane. The rudder is subjected to fluidic oscillators (FOs) action, which are introduced as boundary conditions. Results are used with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to obtain a control-law for the AFC system so to gain optimal aerodynamics performances.
