Closed-loop control of a piezo-fluidic amplifier

Abstract: Fluidic valves based on the Coandă effect are increasingly being considered for use in aerodynamic flow control applications. A limiting factor is their variation in switching time, which often precludes their use. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the closed-loop control of a recently developed, novel piezo-fluidic valve that reduces response time uncertainty at the expense of operating bandwidth. Use is made of the fact that a fluidic jet responds to a piezo tone by deflecting away from its steady … Show more

“…Fluidic actuators have the potential to overcome these challenges, with recent studies making strides into understanding their operation and improving bandwidth and authority limitations [14][15][16]. Switching time uncertainty is addressed by Nicholls et al [17] through the use of closed-loop control. Since they contain no moving parts, fluidic devices do not suffer from wear and therefore require less maintenance.…”
