The group develops and runs high-quality experimental setups to study airfoils, aircraft components, generic configurations and canonical flows. One focus is to develop and utilize methods for active and passive control. Flow control is employed to control turbulent separations for high lift, or for low drag or the control of laminar-turbulent transition.
