The hypothesis allows for the wettability properties of the ECT wall material, the capillary effect (CE), liquid evaporation and the pressure difference between the ECT volume and the environment, as well as the duration of the process. Three options for supplying liquid to the ECT volume are considered. They correspond to the technological operations in the ECT manufacture: washing, hydraulic testing, and calibration. A physical–mathematical model (PMM) of heat and mass transfer and liquid dynamics in the ECT and a capillary is developed on the basis of the Navier–Stokes equations. The obtained PMM is used to construct a corresponding computer model (CM). On the example of the ECT washing, a numerical simulation of the process of liquid filling the capillary is carried out. The changes in the capillary volume being filled with liquid are determined with respect to time, including temperature, pressure, mass flow rate of viscous incompressible liquid at the ECT entrance, wettability of the ECT walls and the exposure time interval.

It broadens the induced forcing spectrum, enhancing interaction with a wider range of flow structures. This finding establishes a clear physical connection between the RL agent action time and the unsteady flow dynamics. However, excessively short agent action time reduce the forcing amplitude, limiting control authority. Adjusting the observed state from wake-region sensors to surface-mounted pressure sensors yields comparable improvements in lift-to-drag ratio, ranging from <span>( 34.1% )</span> to <span>( 35.5% )</span>, demonstrating the practical feasibility of using surface measurements.

An increase in the density ratio is found to have a significant destabilizing effect. The most unstable mode is an inviscid mode, which is an elastic wave of the solid that is destabilised due to a coupling with fluid fluctuations when the wave speed is smaller than the maximum of the flow velocity. As the density ratio is increased, the wave speed decreases and the flow becomes unstable at a lower flow speed or Reynolds number.

We employ the Brillouin-Villat criterion to determine the position of the free streamline detachment. Using the integral hodograph method, we derive expressions for the complex velocity and the derivative of the complex potential, both defined in an auxiliary parameter plane. A system of singular integral equations, formulated in terms of the velocity magnitude along the free surface and the slope of the body, is derived by applying the dynamic and kinematic boundary conditions.

Numerical results demonstrate the effect of surface tension on the free streamline detachment, the drag force and the free surface shape for a wide range of Weber numbers.
