▪ Abstract The evolution of a synthetic (zero-net mass flux) jet and the flow mechanisms of its
interaction with a cross flow are reviewed. An isolated synthetic jet is produced by the …

This article reviews the characteristics and behavior of counter-rotating and corotating vortex
pairs, which are seemingly simple flow configurations yet immensely rich in phenomena …

Theory and modelling remain central to improving our understanding of undulatory and
oscillatory swimming. Simple models based on added mass can help to give great insight …

The discovery of coherent structures in turbulence has fostered the hope that the study of
vortices will lead to models and an understanding of turbulent flow, thereby solving or at …

This book comprises seven chapters, an appendix, a bibliographical section 98 references,
and an index. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. The stated goal of the book …

▪ Abstract Noncircular jets have been the topic of extensive research in the last fifteen years.
These jets were identified as an efficient technique of passive flow control that allows …

This paper summarizes experimental studies of incompressible elliptic jets of different
aspect ratios and initial conditions, and effects of excitations at selected frequencies and …

A passive technique of increasing entrainment was found by using a small-aspect-ratio
elliptic jet. The entrainment ratio of an elliptic jet was several times greater than that of a …

The effects of vortex generators and periodic excitation on vorticity dynamics and the
phenomenon of axis switching in a free asymmetric jet are studied experimentally. Most of …

An air jet emanating from a square conduit having an equivalent diameter of 4.34 cm and a
centreline velocity of 4 m/s is forced using four resonantly driven piezoelectric actuators …
