Final announcement

Joint ERCOFTAC/PLASMAERO Workshop

10-12 December 2012

Toulouse, France

We are pleased to announce a joint ERCOFTAC/PLASMAERO Workshop on flow control and drag reduction on 10-12 December 2012 organized with the support of ONERA, Toulouse Center.

European Drag Reduction and Flow Control Meeting (EDRFCM 2012) will be hosted on 10th and 11th December 2012 by the ERCOFTAC Special Interest Group SIG20 Drag Reduction and Flow Control, where up-to-date results of experimental, numerical and analytical research into flow control and drag reduction will be discussed.

Public workshop on plasma aerodynamics will be hosted on 12th December 2012 by PLASMAERO, FP7 funded European project coordinated by ONERA, which seeks to demonstrate how DBD and spark discharge plasma actuators could be used to control aircraft aerodynamic flow. This has been achieved through an enhanced understanding of their physical characteristics and an in-depth study of how they are optimised to influence the air flow properties.

Workshop topics

All flow control and drag reduction techniques, including riblets, roughness, vortex generators, compliant walls, polymer & surfactant additives, micro-bubbles,wall and flow oscillations, travelling waves, blowing/suction, synthetic jets, MEMS, electro-magnetic control and plasma flow control.

Final programme and abstracts

The final programme and abstracts can be downloaded from here.
