A review of fluidic oscillator development and application for flow control
Özet
This review provides a detailed discussion of the historical development of fluidic oscillators and their application to flow control. Fluidic oscillators were initially developed in the 1960's for a variety of applications, and have seen resurgent interest for their suitability for modern flow control applications. The devices produce an oscillating jet of fluid over a wide fan angle and have no moving parts, making them an attractive actuator concept. This review aims to highlight the most important historical papers of relevance to modern fluidic oscillator development. The reviewed works will extend from the early 1960's to the most recent investigations, with a focus on the fundamental operating mechanisms of fluidic oscillators. The authors present this review as a short synopsis of fluidic oscillators for flow control, while a more comprehensive review will be submitted for archival publication in the near future.
