Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although there have recently been various studies on synthetic jets, many issues remain to be clarified, including details of the structure, Coanda effect and thrust characteristics. This study clarified the Coanda effect of synthetic jets. In addition, a thruster model using the Coanda effect of synthetic jets was proposed and thrust characteristics are evaluated. As the main results, the flow of a synthetic jet near a rigid boundary was visualized and the trajectory of a vortex pair is demonstrated. It was confirmed that the flow patterns of the synthetic jets near a rigid boundary depend on H/b0 (offset ratio, normalized step height). The behavior of the asymmetric synthetic jets caused by the presence of the rigid wall was observed experimentally and the results were compared with numerical data. Furthermore, typical flow patterns around the proposed synthetic jet thruster and its thrust characteristics curves were shown.
