Abstract: Synthetic jets are piezo-driven, small-scale, pulsating devices capable of producing highly turbulent jets formed by periodic entrainment and expulsion of the fluid in which they are embedded. ...

Abstract: With the seamless advancements in modern electronics and shrinking thermal real estate, a number of candidate thermal technologies have been developed. As system designers evaluate these methods, ...

Abstract: Microfluid devices are conventionally used for boundary layer control in many aerospace applications. Synthetic jets are intense small-scale turbulent jets formed from periodic entrainment and ...

Abstract: Light emitting diodes (LEDs) historically have been used for indicators and produced low amounts of heat. The introduction of high brightness LEDs with white light and monochromatic colors has ...

Abstract: Synthetic jets are meso or microscale fluidic devices, which operate on the “zero-net-mass-flux” principle. However, they impart a positive net momentum flux to the external environment and are ...
