Flowfield Characteristics of Axisymmetric and Non Axisymmetric Sonic Jets and Preliminary Investigations of Micro-Jet based Actuator Designs (039520)

Project Status: Current

Investigator


Description

The objective of this effort is to characterize the tlowfield properties of fi'ee jets issuing fi'om converging nozzles of axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric geometry over a range of test conditions. A secondary objective is to conduct preliminary studies to identify promising actuator designs for applications of interest. Various tasks we plan to focus on are listed below.
