The understanding of the entrainment mechanism of synthetic jets can help optimise the
synthetic jet actuators in engineering applications. It is generally believed that vortex rings or …

In many studies concerning synthetic jet flow fields the analysis is usually restricted to simple
configurations, such as a single diaphragm oscillating in a cylindrical cavity, which is linked …

An axisymmetric synthetic jet actuator based on a loudspeaker and five types of flanged
nozzles were experimentally tested and compared. The first (reference) type of nozzle was a …

The dynamics of finite-span vortex rings expelled from a synthetic jet actuator is studied
experimentally using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry as well as being modeled with …

The effect of fractal orifices on the characteristics and vortex rings of synthetic jets is
investigated. Synthetic jets with circular and fractal orifices, as well as a continuous jet with a …

The need for flow control is widely recognized in various fields of technological applications
such as fluid dynamics, atomization, heat transfer, and others. The common goal to be …

In recent decades, jet impingement cooling has gained significant attention due to its ability
to remove large thermal loads from local heating zones. This study demonstrates the …
