Combfiltering is when 2 identical signals arrive at a location slightly out of time.

It causes notches in the response.

The freq of the first notch is 1/2 of the time difference in arrival and the freq spacing of the notches is equal to the time arrival difference

Here is a link to a paper I wrote a number of years ago.  The combfilter part is a little later on in the paper.

seems I heard that comb filtering was used to create chorus effect, or was it flanging

Both of these are delay related; the difference is in the amount.

The closer in time the two signals are, the higher the frequency(s) of destructive interaction.  A flange effect is definitely comb-filtering.  A delay of a couple milliseconds is used - often a variable delay - and the resulting sound is the changing nature of the comb-filtering interaction.

Chorus effects can be more complicated, using combinations of delay (usually longer than flange delay), detuning, and other tricks.

If you change the time of one of the arrivals it is a nice chorus effect.

Flanging is basically more than 2 arrivals at different times.

The different arrivals cause peaks and dips in the response
