Maximization of integral outlet quantities of an axisymmetric synthetic jet actuator based on a loudspeaker
Kordík, Jozef ; Trávníček, Zdeněk
The goal of this paper is to find an optimal nozzle size of an axisymmetric synthetic jet actuator based on a loudspeaker. The desirable maximized output quantities are: volumetric flow, momentum flux, and kinetic energy flux. To evaluate these quantities velocity profiles were measured using a hot-wire probe at the actuator nozzle exit. Six different nozzle diameters and three supplied real power levels were tested to find the maxima of the quantities. The actuator operated always at resonance during experiments. It was found out that the momentum flux and the kinetic energy flux reach distinguishable local maxima at particular diameters of the nozzle. Besides, the maxima of the particular quantities do not coincide and the best nozzle size slightly increases with the supplied real power to the actuator.

A new method for fluid input into a hybrid synthetic jet actuator
Kordík, Jozef ; Trávníček, Zdeněk ; Tesař, Václav
A new principle of flow rectification for hybrid synthetic jet actuators is introduced in this paper. As is well known, the flow rectification can be best accomplished by means of fluidic diodes. Novelty of the present study are fluidic diodes with two mutually opposed nozzles. Interaction between the periodic jet flows from the nozzles causes a difference between the blowing and suction strokes, resulting in a particularly efficient rectification effect. The distance between the nozzle exits as well as the oscillation frequency were the parameters, which were varied during hot-wire measurements. The combination of those parameters achieving the highest volumetric efficiency was identified.

Large-amplitude pulsatile nozzle flow
Tesař, Václav ; Kordík, Jozef
Flowfield inside a simply-shaped nozzle with periodic unsteadiness of so large amplitude that a flow reversal occurs during a part of the cycle was investigated. The range of frequencies was from 20 Hz to 320 Hz, and ratios of the pulsation amplitude to the steady flow were from 1.0 to 4.0. Anemometric velocity measurements were combined with numerical flowfield computations.

Experimental investigation of a control synthetic jet
Němcová, L. ; Kordík, Jozef ; Trávníček, Zdeněk ; Kopecký, V.
Synthetic jets were used in previous studies to control a continuous round air jet. This study focuses on the single synthetic jet, which is measured using Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Velocity profiles and frequency characteristics of the single synthetic jet are discussed and the velocity maps at frequencies of 30 Hz, 81 Hz and 190 Hz are presented. Finally, velocity, flow rate and momentum coefficients featured the present flow control are evaluated, and examples of actively controlled round air jet are put on. The results confirm efficiency of the present flow control method.

AXIAL VARIATION OF A SYNTHETIC JET FREQUENCY SPECTRUM
Tesař, Václav ; Kordík, Jozef
Frequency spectra of synthetic jets vary along the jet axis and there is sudden change of the character and structure of axisymmetric synthetic jets at the relative axial distance from the virtual origin X1*/d ~50. Processing the spectra into the compensated form made obvious a number of surprising facts – one of them the discovery that what wasexpected to be the Komogorov constant obviously varies quite significantly along the jet, its variations exhibiting a marked change in its behaviour at the critical transition.

Turbulence spectra evaluation using a similarity model
Tesař, Václav ; Kordík, Jozef
Authors measured instantaneous velocities in points along the axis of a synthetic jet and evaluated there the spectral density of the measured values. Analysis of these spectra necessitates knowledge of quantities - such as the dissipation rated of eddies – difficult to evaluate and usually not know. In the present case they were found from to the earlier performed fit to quasi-similarity solution of the flowfield, based upon the one-equation model of turbulence.
