Review demonstrates classification and performance characteristics of actuators in low-to-moderate speed flows, indicating key trade-offs for aeronautical design.

Key Points

To establish a comprehensive framework detailing the specifications, characteristics, selection, and design of active flow control actuators in aeronautics.
Reviewed theoretical fundamentals and governing operational parameters of active flow control transducers.
Categorized and analyzed primary actuator architectures across low-to-moderate speed aerodynamic regimes, focusing on fluidic, moving surface, and plasma mechanisms.
Characterized distinct operational trade-offs, advantages, and physical limitations inherent to fluidic, surface-deformation, and electrical plasma actuators.
Identified critical aerodynamic integration constraints and proposed prioritized technical directions for next-generation actuator research.
