Active Flow Control of a Boundary Layer Ingesting Serpentine Diffuser

The use of serpentine boundary layer ingesting (BLI) diffusers offers a significant benefit to the performance of Blended Wing Body aircraft. However, the inherent diffuser geometry combined with a thick ingested boundary layer creates strong secondary flows that lead to severe flow distortion at th...
