Recent progress in circulation control aerodynamics

A workshop on circulation control aerodynamics was held on February 19-21, 1986 at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA. The subjects covered were viscosity and turbulence of Coanda jets, circulation control airfoils, airfoil theory, circulation control airfoil and wing experiments, circulation control rotor theory, X-Wing technology, and fixed-wing technology. The unclassified papers of the Workshop are reviewed in this paper, and Workshop recommendations for future research and development on circulation control are presented.
