Abstract: The dynamics of an actively controlled fluidic diverter with novel actuation method are presented. This bistable fluidic valve is based on the Coanda effect and is able to switch the main flow solely by means of acoustic ...

Abstract: This paper investigates an ultrasonically driven bistable fluidic diverter at inlet nozzle Mach numbers of up to Mn = 0.3 and operating pressure ratios of up to Pr = 1.1. Part I examines the switching characteristics with ...

Abstract: The switching mechanism and underlying flow physics of an actively controlled fluidic device are investigated using both large eddy simulation (LES) and particle imaging velocimetry (PIV). The fluidic device considered ...
