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 …

This study aims to enable solid-state aerodynamic force generation in high-dynamic-
pressure airflow. A novel, high-load-output, bidirectional variable-camber airfoil employing a …

This paper reports on an experimental study of the influence of the Strouhal number (0.011,
0.022 and 0.044) and orifice-to-plate distances (2, 4 and 6 orifice diameters) on the flow field …

The purpose of the research presented here is to exploit actuation via smart materials to
perform shape control of an aerofoil on a small aircraft and to determine the feasibility and …

A lumped-element mathematical model of the operation of a synthetic jet actuator driven by
a thin piezoelectric disk is both analytically and numerically investigated to obtain …

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 …

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 …

Active flow control with synthetic jets has been shown to increase aerodynamic efficiency by
delaying flow separation. The application of flow control to a vertical tail of an aircraft could …

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations of 108 geometrical
configurations of a loudspeaker-driven synthetic jet (SJ) actuator. The considered cases of …

A detailed analysis of a finite-span synthetic jet in a quiescent fluid is presented, with the
goal of achieving a high speed and momentum synthetic jet, with a peak velocity exceeding …
