Abstract

Lift can be generated on a circular cylinder with its axis normal to an air flow by blowing a sheet of air tangentially round the upper surface from a narrow slot or slots. This lift force may be estimated by matching the external inviscid flow field with separation points calculated by Spalding's unified boundary-layer theory. The theory reproduces experimental results reasonably well, except in certain special conditions fully discussed.
