Active flow control (AFC) is stirring the scientific community for decades, leading to impressive demonstrations as the one carried out by Boeing with its 757 “eco Demonstrator” whose vertical tail (VT) is equipped with array of actuators (see left picture below). Despite these preliminary successes, commercial application are still struggling to come, sign that more efforts are needed in the research community in improving the performance of AFC solutions. In this context, this PhD proposal aims at exploring new control strategies relying on the two well-known pulsed and synthetic jets, in order to achieve large-scale demonstration using a VT model or a flap model in wind tunnel
