The Project  Introduction Objectives Concept Participants Consortium Impact Partners  Members area Consortium	Consortium as a whole The MARS consortium is based on the Flow Control Working Group as a results of the FP7 AeroChina and AeroChina2 projects, with enhancement from a few additional selected partners. Summary of the European partnership: Due to the strong interest from the European aviation industry in this key technology, there are four industrial partners (end users), representative of the European aerospace industry in MARS. They are Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Alenia and EADS Innovation Works. Their contribution will be primarily in guidance in WP2 and WP3 in the basic test case specifications relevant to the later application in WP5. They will be directly involved in WP5 in the specification of the actual demonstration cases. They will also be involved in WP4 in the actual design issues related to the devices. The four experimental partners are DLR, Poitiers, Manchester and Airbus with their combined experience in a range of flow control device investigations and measurement techniques. DLR is to provide the high resolution PIV capability for the extraction of 4D (3D + time) flow field data around and downstream of the control devices. Devices investigated include FVG, plasma(DBD), synthetic jets, pulsating elastic surface, etc. The five computational modelling/simulation teams, Sheffield, FOI, CIMNE, NUMECA and INRIA, will conduct high order modelling/simulation at the unsteady RANS, DES, Hybrid RANS/LES and LES levels. All teams have previous experience in the simulation domain at the DES, hybrid, or LES level for unsteady three dimensional turbulent flows. Control devices such as VG, FVG, synthetic jets, bumps and oscillating bumps were investigated before and Reynolds stresses analysed. The design and optimisation effort will be carried out by CIMNE, INRIA, Sheffield and Manchester, linking WP2&3 with WP5. The design aspects and the potential optimisation through reduced order models for the various devices will be investigated. Summary of Chinese partnership: These are all FP7 AeroChina2 project partners, including (1) industrial and research organisations under the framework of CAE, Chinese Aeronautical Establishment, of China Aviation Industries Corporation (AVIC) AVIC-ARI, AVIC-FAI, AVIC-ACTRI; (2) the three top Chinese aeronautical universities, NUAA, NPU and BUAA; (3) three of the top Chinese comprehensive universities, Tsinghua, Peking and Zhejiang Universities. Experimental investigation will be led by NUAA with AVIC-ARI, BUAA, NPU and Peking U; Numerical simulations will be led by Tsinghua U with AVIC-ACTRI, and BUAA; NPU will lead design/optimisation and analysis with NUAA and AVIC-ARI. Representing the end users from the Chinese aviation industry will be AVIC-FAI.
