Exploring Active Flow Control (AFC) with a focus on the CoFlow Jet (CFJ) airfoil shows potential lift improvement, drag reduction, and increased stall margin through strategic slot placement. This study examines combining AFC solutions like CFJ with circulation control devices like the Coanda jet for enhanced efficiency. LES and RANS simulations quantify various AFC solutions, suggesting integrated configurations for potential application in finite wing designs.
