S. Hayböck¹, C. Breitsamter¹; ¹Technical University of Munich, Germany

Innovative nacelle designs and disruptive technologies are required to address drag and weight penalties of high bypass ratio turbofan nacelles. Active Flow Control is a promising technology to improve flow quality for short-inlet nacelle geometries. The formation of counter-rotating vortex pairs is crucial for the effectiveness of the system.
