Abstract
The sensitivity of synthetic jets to the design of the jet cavity is examined using numerical simulations. In this study, the primary focus is on examining the effect of changes in the cavity aspect ratio and the placement of piezoelectric diaphragm on the flow produced by the jet. Cases with and without an external cross-flow are investigated. This study compares the vortex dynamics, velocity profiles and other dynamical characteristics of the jet for the various cases and this allows us to extract some insight into the effect of these modifications on the jet performance. It is expected that this study will prove useful in the design as well as in developing dynamical models for these devices.
