The present paper describes the applicability of the flow control device, mini actuators attached on the leading edge of an airfoil, for the flow separation control under unsteady flow condition in the low Reynolds number region. Lift and drag have been measured for a wide variety of the wind speeds (Reynolds numbers) and the angles of attack. Then, effects of simple feedback flow control, where the time-dependent signal of the lift-drag ratio has been used as an input to detect the stall and served as a trigger to start the actuation, have been explored under the unsteady flow condition for evading the stall. For every Reynolds number from 30,000 to 80,000, the actuators worked quite well to delay the stall, increasing both in the lift and the stall angle of attack. Then, threshold value of the lift-drag ratio was determined to detect the stall. Effectiveness of the feedback control of the actuation was demonstrated under the condition of the wind speed decrease which would lead to the stall if no-actuation. Immediately after the velocity decrease, the decrease in the lift-drag ratio below the threshold were detected and the dynamic actuations were started, resulting in evading the stall and keeping high lift. The additional operation of the feedback, stopping the actuation when the lift-drag ratio showed lower than the second threshold, was revealed effective to keep the high lift force under the condition combined with the wind speed increase and decrease.

This paper describes the experimental investigations of film cooling effectiveness on a highly loaded low-pressure turbine blade under steady and periodic unsteady wake induced flow condition. The cascade facility in Turbomachinery Performance and Flow Research Lab (TPFL) at Texas A&M University was used to simulate the periodic unsteady flow condition inside gas turbine engines. Moving wakes that are originated from upstream stator blades are simulated inside the cascade facility by moving rods in front of the blades. The flow coefficient is maintained at 0.8 and the incoming wakes have a reduced frequency of 3.18. There are a total of 617 holes on the blade, which are distributed along 13 different rows. 6 rows cover the suction side, 6 other rows cover the pressure side and one last row feeds the leading edge. Each row has a twin row on the other side of the blade with exact same number of holes and arrangement (except for leading edge). They both are connected to the same cavity. Coolant is injected from either sides of the blade through the 6 cavities to form a uniform distribution along the span of the blade. In order to study the film cooling effectiveness under periodic unsteady flow condition, the blade surfaces were covered with Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) and were excited with green light. Experiments were performed for Reynolds number of 150,000 and approximate blowing ratio of coolant was maintained at one, based on equal mass flux distribution, for all rows throughout the experiments. Experimental investigations were performed to determine the effect of flow separation, and pressure gradient on film-cooling effectiveness in the absence of wakes. Moreover, the effect of impinging wakes on the overall film coverage of blade surfaces was studied.
