A Design of a Mechanical Synthetic Jet Actuator

Article Preview

Abstract:

To show the influence of the synthetic jet on the wake of a cylinder and the aerodynamics performances, a piston-rod-crank actuator was designed to provide a synthetic jet with amplitude up to 20% of the free-stream velocity from the wind tunnel. The rod is driven in rotation by an electrical motor with variable frequency and maximum speed of 2800 rev/min corresponding to a frequency of 47 Hz.
