Abstract A Synthetic Jet Actuator (SJA) is a fluidic device that generates a quasi-steady jet of
fluid by the cyclic suction and blowing of fluid into and out of a cavity across a slot or an …

The vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs), as common wind turbines for harvesting wind
energy, have wide prospects of development. However, the VAWTs are periodically …

There is generally limited guidance available on the optimum clamping method for the
diaphragms used in the synthetic jet actuators (SJAs). This paper describes the effects of …

Flow control technologies have been used in the past century to control fluid flows. This text
presents the current state of the art in emerging modern flow control technologies and …

The present work discusses an experimental investigation into the effect of piezoceramic
employed to drive a synthetic jet actuator into a quiescent flow. The electromechanical …

Abstract Using Lagrangian Coherent Structures, the influences of synthetic jet parameters,
namely, velocity and frequency, on lift at post-stall attack angle are studied in detail, from …

SYNTHETIC jet actuators have been regarded as a promising method of delivering flow
control for aircraft applications due to their ability to inject momentum to an external flow …

The formulation of the optimization problem was based on the maximization of an objective
function, which was alternatively selected from the four integral quantities: volumetric flux …

AVORTEX ring is usually formed by ejecting fluid impulsively from an orifice [1]. A vortex
sheet separates at the edge of the orifice and rolls up to form a vortex ring, which moves …

For the first time, an experiment has been conducted to investigate synthetic jet laminar
vortex rings impinging onto porous walls with different geometries by time-resolved particle …
