Formation Criterion for Synthetic Jets

Abstract: A formation criterion for synthetic jets is proposed and validated. A synthetic jet actuator is a zero-net mass-flux device that imparts momentum to its surroundings. Jet formation is defined as the appearance of a time-averaged outward velocity along the jet axis and corresponds to the generation and subsequent convection or escape of a vortex ring. It is shown that over a wide range of operating conditions synthetic jet formation is governed by the jet Strouhal number Sr (or Reynolds number Re and Stokes num… Show more

“…2.3 Discussion on the Effect of the Dimensionless Parameters Holman et al (2005) and Milanovic and Zaman (2005) have shown that there is a threshold of the stroke length for synthetic jet formation, for which L is approximately 0.5 for round synthetic jets in the absence of a crossflow. As such, jet formation and the ensuing injection of vorticity within the boundary layer to promote fluid mixing requires that the stroke length is larger than a critical value.…”

“…In the present research a near-field up to this distance is defined within which three-dimensional effects on the flow in the central plane are assumed negligible. Holman et al (2005) proposed and validated a formation criterion for synthetic jets. They demonstrated that for St > 1/π vortices do not travel far enough from the actuator and are ingested back into the orifice during the suction phase.…”
