Long description of figure 2

Plot of total pressure coefficient versus circumferential position at the midspan of a flow control vane. Low momentum fluid along the vane suction surface induces flow separation in the baseline condition. Injection along the vane surface energizes the stalled fluid and reattaches the separated flow, thus minimizing the total pressure loss in the downstream wake. The effect of two levels of injection, as measured by injected velocity, is shown.
