Abstract:
An example method of controlling a flow enhancement device includes providing a flow enhancement device that is configured stabilize a flow of air near a nacelle. The flow enhancement device has a first setting and a second setting that provides more stabilization than the first setting. The method includes monitoring parameters of a turbomachine to determine the stability of the flow of air near the nacelle. The method also adjusts the flow enhancement device between the first setting and the second setting based on the monitoring.
