Abstract
An actuator using piezoceramic material was designed in order to perform a flow control for flat plate flow. Boundary layer measurements were carried out to explore the flow disturbances by the designed actuator that was activated at low excitation frequency(15Hz). The mean velocity and fluctuation in the boundary layers were measured at $x/{\delta}^*=31.9$ downstream from the actuator tip by a one-dimensional hot-wire probe(55P14). Results reveal that low- and high-velocity regions were observed in the vicinity of the actuator center and in the outer area of the actuator respectively, and the formation of counter-rotating streamwise vortices was predicted. The fluctuations were persistently found in the outer part of the actuator and an inflection point in the spanwise gradient of the streamwise velocity was observed. Boundary layer instability was amplified at both the actuator excitation frequency and the T-S wave frequency when the actuator was excited at low frequency.
