S0502-2-3 Study on the Flow Characteristics of Two-Dimensional Synthetic Jets

Abstract

The flow characteristics of the plane synthetic jets were investigated by conducting experiment and numerical simulation. The time averaged flow structure between the synthetic jet and the continuous jet was compared. The flow patterns and the pressure distributions for the typical non-dimensional stroke K were showed to clarify the influence of vortex pair on the unsteady flow characteristics. Furthermore, the location of the mean flow formation was also discussed.
