Abstract

The airfoil with injection only is compared with the CFJ airfoil with both injection and suction with the similar injection momentum coefficient. The CFD simulations indicate that the suction of the CFJ airfoil significantly enhances the mixing and energy transfer between the jet and main flow, which results in higher circulation, higher lift, higher stall angle of attack, lower drag, and lower energy expenditure. The equivalent drag of the airfoil with injection only is significantly higher than the drag of the CFJ airfoil with both injection and suction. Since any airfoil with a jet injection needs to have a jet suction to satisfy the mass conservation law, this study indicates that the suction occurring on the suction surface such as the CFJ airfoil is more beneficial than drawing the jet mass flow from the aircraft engine inlet.
