Abstract

The formation and evolution of 3D synthetic jets is examined using direct numerical simulations. The primary focus of the current study is on examining the formation of 3D synthetic jets and the effect of changes in the jet aspect-ratio on the flow produced by the jet. Jets in quiescent and cross-flow cases are investigated. The study compares the vortex dynamics, velocity profiles and the other dynamical characteristics of the jet for the various cases which allows us to extract some insight into the effect of these modifications on the jet performance. It is expected that the study will lead to a. better understanding of the behavior of 3D synthetic jets.
