Popis: Lift force is produced from a pressure difference between the pressures acting in upper and lower surfaces. Therefore, flow becomes detached from the surface of the airfoil at separation point and form vortices. These vortices affect the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil in term of lift and drag coefficient. Therefore, this study is investigating the effect of suction and jet blowing in boundary layer separation control on NACA 0012 airfoil in a subsonic wind tunnel. The experiment examined both methods at the position of 25% of the chord-length of the airfoil at Reynolds number 1.2 × 105. The findings show that suction and jet blowing affect the aerodynamic performance of NACA 0012 airfoil and can be an effective means for boundary layer separation control in subsonic flow.
