THE MECHANISM OF JET VECTORING USING SYNTHETIC JET ACTUATORS

Zhenbing Luo, Zhi-xun Xia

Open publisher page 22 citations

Abstract

The control mechanism of jet vectoring using synthetic jet actuators is investigated. The final deflection angle of the primary jet is a result of the primary jet controlled by synthetic jets at three different regions. The lower static pressure near the primary jet exit induced by the synthetic jet, the entrainment and absorption of the primary jet fluid by the synthetic jet during the blowing and the suction stroke, the coupling and interaction between the vortices of synthetic jet and the shear layer of the primary jet are the main control mechanisms for the synthetic jet actuator vectoring a primary jet. The main factors influencing jet vectoring are analyzed and summarized, and a preparatory model for jet vectoring using synthetic jet actuator is presented.
