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 …

Ducted fans have been widely used in VTOL aircraft due to the high propulsion efficiency
and safety. The efficiency and stability of ducted fans deteriorate in some flight conditions …

Extensive research has been carried out to meet the cooling demand of high heat flux
electrical and electronic devices. Among the emerging cooling technologies, synthetic jet …

A synthetic jet actuator is a fluidic device that produces a jet flow by the periodic ingestion of
fluid into and expulsion of fluid out of a cavity across an orifice. Since such a mechanism …

Flow over a bluff body is a common and significant case for engineering sciences. The well-
known problem is the highly unsteady and vortical flow structure developing downstream of …

In the transonic flow over a hemisphere-on-cylinder turret, strong aero-optical effects can be
caused by local shock/boundary-layer interactions and separation shear layers at the turret's …

Ducted fan vehicles possess a superior ability to maximize payload capacity while
minimizing vehicle size. Their ability to both hover and fly at high speed is a key advantage …

The aero-optical environment and pressure field around a hemispherical turret were
experimentally studied in flight between Mach numbers 0.5 and 0.8. Optical wavefronts were …

Hemisphere‐on‐cylinder turrets are the main airborne optical platform structure. However,
an unsteady shock boundary layer interaction (SBLI) would act on flow separation and …

SYNTHETIC-JET actuators (SJAs) have generated considerable research interest, since
they are wider and entrain more flow than similar steady jets [1] and also can be used in …
