Abstract
Studies of synthetic jets generated by compact actuators have been conducted for various applications such as drag reduction, boundary layer separation control, and multi-flow mixing. This study represents fundamental research on jet fan development using a synthetic jet. The fan performance characteristics are discussed. In particular, this work is an attempt to experimentally clarify the effects of the jet oscillation characteristics and the height of duct (duct geometry) on the fan performance, the pressure rise mechanism inside the fan duct, and fan efficiency.
