NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF VORTICAL FLOW INDUCED BY A SYNTHETIC JET ACTUATOR

Piezoelectric actuators have been investigated for flow control in the field of fluid dynamics. Numerical simulation for a single diaphragm piezoelectric actuator operating in quiescent air is performed to investigate the complex flow field around the slot exit. A periodic velocity transpiration condition is applied to simulate the effect of the moving diaphragm. The computational results for the flow field around the slot exit agree well with the experimental data. The results also show that low pressure regions due to the vortex pairing cause non-monotonic variations in the vertical velocity.
