Numerous studies on the fundamental flow characteristics of the synthetic jets and the control of the separation flows using the synthetic jets have been conducted actively. However, to use the synthetic jets as an actuator for the fluid machinery, many issues need to be clarified, including the optimum relation between the synthetic jet oscillation and the mechanical configuration. In this paper, a jet pump (fan) using the synthetic jets produced by a piston actuator is proposed. The time variation of the jet centerline velocity inside the pump and the performance curves from the experiment have been discussed the optimum condition for the operation.
