Abstract

See full text

A fluid interface device, such as an airfoil assembly, can include a device structure and at least one moveable band oriented such that the band moves in a direction of fluid flow. The at least one moveable band can be supported on the device structure such that an outer surface of the moveable band is exposed along the device structure and is capable of movement relative thereto such that a relative velocity can be maintained between the outer surface and the device structure. The fluid interface device can have a cross section that includes first and second boundary layer collision points disposed along one side of the device structure with at least one of said first and second boundary layer collision points formed by the endless band. An airplane, a wind turbine and a method are also included.
