eng Abstract:
A useful aerodynamic control action may be causing a separation of flow from the wall past which the fluid flows. Several current research activities aim at doing so by oscillating zero-time-mean flow generated in a nozzle located in the wall. The effect is often described as “flow control by synthetic jet”, although it is obvious that the vortex rings generated in the outflow phase of the oscillation are deformed by the controlled flow and also are carried too far away so that they cannot form the classical synthetic jet configuration of vortex rings. Authors describe experiments with such a control applied successfully in an axisymmetric fluidic valve. Presented is a hypothesis explaining the separation mechanism.
