Simulation of Synthetic Jets in the context of Controlling Separated Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
A synthetic jet is formed as a consequence of a periodic – say sinusoidal – expulsion and extraction of fluid through an orifice, so that the time-averaged flow rate through the orifice is zero. Despite the zero mean mass flux, the sequence of injection followed by suction results in net momentum and vorticity being released into the fluid body in which the jet is generated. This is, essentially, a consequence of the „asymmetry‟ in the flow induced at the orifice during the injection and suction strokes and hence differences in the properties of the fluid being injected and extracted.

Simulation of slot and round synthetic jets in the context of boundary-layer separation control.
Synthetic jets--also referred to as mass-less jets--offer the potential of effective, on-demand, fluid-based control of separating boundary layers on highly loaded aerodynamic surfaces, without the need for a mass source. However, the control authority that may optimally be derived from such jets, and any generality of the underlying flow physics are obscured by the wide range of geometric and ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Free Surface in the Case of Plane Turbulent Wall Jets in Shallow Tailwater
Wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. In this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the standard turbulence closure model. This study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...
متن کاملSimulation of local scour caused by submerged horizontal jets with Flow-3D numerical model
One of the most concerning issues for researchers is to predict the shape and dimensions of the scour pit nearhydraulic structures such as the base of bridges, weirs, valves and stilling basins due to both financial and humanhazards induced by destruction of the structure. As the scour issue has its own complexity in relation to themultiplicity of effecting factors on it, in this study therefor...

متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model
Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...
