Abstract
Although there have recently been various studies on synthetic jets, many issues remain to be clarified, including details of the jet structure and the fluid force. In this paper, a jet pump (fan) which utilizes the synthetic jet is proposed. The numerical results of the velocity change with time downstream of the slot are compared with the experimental results. The typical flow patterns inside the pump and the performance curves are demonstrated. Furthermore, the mechanism of pressure restoration for various non-dimensional stroke length L_0 is discussed.
