Particularly, when the diameter of the adhered droplets falls within the submicron or micron range, they are subjected to numerous stochastic collision forces from surrounding air molecules, leading to a pronounced stochastic motion, which, in turn, affects the splashing process. To investigate the fundamental scientific question of the stochastic motion mechanism of the adhered droplet, a stochastic dynamics approach is adopted. Based on the Itô stochastic differential equation, a stochastic differential equation describing the motion of the adhered droplet is first formulated. Subsequently, an expression for the lift coefficient of the adhered droplet is proposed, and the diffusion coefficient is derived using the π theorem. Finally, a stochastic motion model for the adhered droplet at the liquid-film edge is established.

For comparison, two boundary layer suction configurations were also developed as baseline models. The numerical results demonstrate that under sub-rated conditions (M = 4), the suction port should be located away from the shoulder, while the blowing port should be positioned within the isolator. Comparing with the boundary layer suction method, the secondary flow circulation method increased the total pressure recovery coefficient by 11.00%, reduced the total pressure distortion index by 14.80%, and improved the mass flow coefficient by 1.75%.
