Additional information
Significance of output:
Surface suction is feasible way of reducing the drag on aircraft by delaying the transition of the flow to turbulence (which has a higher frictional drag). However, the economics are such that this must be done in a efficient manner in order to overcome the additional costs from the suction system to generate an overall decrease in the energy used. Develops efficient methods for optimising the distribution (strength and position) of the suction.
