Separation control has been performed using synthetic jets on airfoil at high angle of attack. Computed results demonstrated that stall characteristics and control surface performance could be substantially improved by resizing separation vortices. It was observed that the actual flow control mechanism and flow structure is fundamentally different depending on the range of synthetic jet frequency. For low frequency range, small vortices due to synthetic jet penetrated to the large leading edge separation vortex, and as a result, the size of the leading edge vortex was remarkably reduced. For high frequency range, however, small vortex did not grow up enough to penetrate into the leading edge separation vortex. Instead, synthetic jet firmly attached the local flow and influenced the circulation of the virtual airfoil shape which is the combined shape of the main airfoil with the separation vortex. Theses results show the characteristic of unsteady flow of single synthetic jet. Beside, we researched on multi-array synthetic jet to obtain applicable synthetic jet velocity. Multi-location synthetic jet is proposed to eliminate small vortex on suction surface of airfoil. With the results, we concluded that the flow around airfoil is stable by high frequency synthetic jet with elimination of small vortex and confirmation of stable flow. Moreover, performance of multi-array/multi-location synthetic jet can be improved by changing phase angle of multi-location synthetic jet.

The present experiment is conducted to investigate heat transfer characteristics on the impinging surface with secondary flows around circular nozzle jets. The changed vortex pattern around jet affects significantly the flow characteristics and heat transfer coefficients on the impinging surface. The effects of the jet vortex control are also considered with jet nozzle-to-plate distances and main jet velocities. The vortex pattern around a jet is changed from a convective instability to an absolute instability with a velocity suction ratio of the main jet and the secondary counterflow. With the absolute instability condition, the jet potential core length increases and the heat transfer on the impinging surface is increased by small scale eddies. The region of high heat transfer coefficients is enlarged with the high Reynolds number due to increasing secondary peak values. The effect of suction flows is influenced largely with collars attached the exit of the jet nozzle because the attached collar guides well the counterflow around the main jet.

The flow and heat transfer characteristics on the impingement surface can be controlled by the change of vortex with the acoustic excitation, because the flow characteristics of an impinging jet are affected strongly by the vortices formed at the jet exit. To investigate the effects of acoustic excitation, we measured the velocity, turbulent intensity distributions for the free jet and local heat transfer coefficients on a impingement surface. As the acoustic excitation, subharmonic frequency of excited frequency plays an important role to the control of the jet flow. If the vortex pairings are promoted by the acoustic excitation, turbulence intensity of the jet flow is increased quickly. On the other hand if the vortex pairings are suppressed, the jet flow has low turbulence intensity at the center of the jet. Therefore, the low heat transfer rates are obtained on the impingement plate for a small nozzle-to-plate distance. However, it has high heat transfer rates at a large distance between the nozzle and plate due to the increasing of potential-core length.

사각형 및 원형 출구 형상 synthetic jet의 수치적 연구를 통하여 유입류가 존재할 경우 평판에서의 유동 구조 및 유동 제어 효과를 분석하였다. 사각형 출구 형상의 경우, jet 직후에 강한 vortex가 생성되지만 주변에 적은 momentum을 공급하기 때문에 유입류 방향으로 갈수록 유동제어 효과가 감소하게 된다. 원형 출구 형상의 경우, 규칙적인 vortex의 형태가 slot 중앙부터 끝까지 나타나고 보다 멀리까지 jet vorticity의 영향이 미치게 된다. 유동제어 효과를 예상하기 위하여 위치 별 wall shear stress를 비교하였다. 이에 원형 출구 형상이 사각형 출구 형상보다 유동제어 효과가 더 클 것으로 판단된다. 또한 최적의 원형 출구 형상을 도출하기 위하여, hole gap과 diameter의 변화에 따른 유동 구조 및 유동 제어 효과를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, hole diameter와 gap를 고려하여 원형 출구 형상을 설계할 경우 유동제어 효과를 극대화 할 수 있음을 밝혔다.

The flow characteristics of synthetic jet depending on rectangular and circular jet exit configuration are investigated using numerical computation with cross flow. In rectangular slot, synthetic jet generates the strong vortex, however, supply fewer momentum and effectiveness of flow control is reduced along flow direction. In circular slot, regular vortex is fanned from slot center to end and developed in flow direction. It affects the wider region than rectangular slot. The distribution of wall shear stress is considered in order to indicate the effectiveness of flow control device for flow separation delay. As a result, circular slot is a more suitable candidate for delaying flow separation.

This paper presents experimental and computational investigations of synthetic jets with a circular exit for improving flow control performance. First, the flow feature and vortex structure of a multiple serial circular exit were numerically analyzed from the view point of flow control effect under a cross flow condition. In order to improve separation control performance, experimental and numerical studies were conducted according to several key parameters, such as hole diameter, hole gap, the number of hole, jet array, and phase difference. Experiments were carried out in a quiescent condition and a forced separated flow condition using piezoelectrically driven synthetic jets. Jet characteristics were compared by measuring velocity profiles and pressure distributions. The interaction of synthetic jets with a freestream was examined by analyzing vortical structure characteristics. For separation control performance, separated flow over an airfoil at high angles of attack was employed and the flow control performance of the proposed synthetic jet was verified by measuring aerodynamic coefficient. The circular exit with a suitable hole parameter provides stable and persistent jet vortices that do beneficially affect separation control. This demonstrates the flow control performance of circular exit array could be remarkably improved by applying a set of suitable hole parameters.

The problem of a bluff body oscillating in a fluid flow has been receiving a great deal of attention. When a bluff body is placed in a flow, it experiences fluctuating hydraulic forces in both transverse and stream-wise directions. It is caused by the formation of vortices behind the body, which could cause large damages of structures. It is called the flow-induced vibrations. In this article, it is investigated the effects of that side-jets and rear-jet, which is applied to control the vortex shedding. The rear-jet is available to control the flow-induced vibrations according as the body shapes and the velocity of fluid flow in which the galloping phenomena is not appeared.

In the present work, the aerodynamic characteristics of elliptic airfoils which have a 12% thickness ratio are numerically investigated based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and a transition SST model at a Reynolds number 8.0$\times$105. The numerical simulation of a synthetic jet actuator which is a well-known zero-net-mass active flow control actuator located at x/c = 0.00025, was performed to control massive flow separation around the leading edge of the elliptic airfoils. Four cases of non-dimensional frequencies were simulated at an angle of attack of 12 degree. It is found that the size of the vortex induced by synthetic jets was getting smaller as the jet frequency becomes higher. Comparison of the location of synthetic jets between x/c = 0.00025 (around the leading edge) and x/c = 0.9 (near the separation) shows that the control near the leading edge induces closed recirculation flow regions caused by the interaction of the synthetic jet with the external flow, but the control applied at 0.9c (near the trailing edge) induces a very small and weak vortex which quickly decays due to weak intensity.

스마트 무인기 익형 주위의 유동 구조를 파악하고 이를 바탕으로 synthetic jet을 이용하여 정지 비행 모드에서의 수익하중 감소 여부를 파악하였다. 스마트 무인기의 실제 비행 모드에 대하여 유동 구조를 분석하여 앞전 및 뒷전에서 발생하는 와류에 의해서 수익 하중이 크게 증가함을 밝혔다. 이에 앞전과 뒷전에서 발생하는 유동의 박리를 제어하기 위하여 0.01c, $0.3c_{flap}$, $0.95c_{flap}$ 위치에 jet을 위치시켰다. 또한 무차원 주파수(F+)의 변화에 따른 유동 구조 변화와 항력 감소율을 알아보았다. 그 결과, 와류의 유동 구조를 변화시켜 앞전과 뒷전에서 발생하는 거대한 와류의 박리 주기를 짧게 하고 와류의 크기를 감소시켜 정지 비행 모드에서 수익 하중을 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있었다.
