A sweeping jet produced by a fluidic oscillator has recently been examined from the viewpoint of flow separation control. A sweeping jet, which is an oscillating jet with high frequency and large amplitude, is generated by the internal structure of the oscillator, which eliminates the need for a drive unit. Sweeping jets have attracted attention as an active flow control device. Studies have proposed active flow control techniques for an airfoil based on sweeping jets. Most of these studies focused on the characteristics of the dynamic forces acting on the airfoil. However, the flow fields formed by the interaction between the sweeping jet and the main flow and their flow mechanisms are poorly understood, especially for the case where a sweeping jet is ejected into a main flow when a flow field is used to control flow separation. In this study, the detailed vortex structure generated by the interaction between the sweeping jet and the main flow was quantitatively examined using stereo PIV. The stream tube generated by the interaction between the sweeping jet and the main flow consists of two vortex tubes near the outlet of the sweeping jet at a location of 2.0d to 6.0d. At the wake over 10.0d, a pair of vortex tubes gradually separates.
