Abstract:
Experimental measurements and flow visualization of synthetic jets and continuous jets with matched Reynolds numbers are described. Although they have the same profile shape, synthetic jets are wider and slower than matched continuous jets. The synthetic jets are examined at higher Reynolds numbers than previously studied and over a large range of dimensionless stroke lengths.
