SparkJet Actuators for Flow Control

摘要: Abstract : Effective manipulation of a flow field can lead to number significant benefits aerospace vehicle systems, including enhanced performance, maneuverability, payload and range, as well lowered overall cost. These macro are directly achievable through the application flow-control technology on micro scale. Practical active control is dependent upon development robust actuators that reliable, low cost, responsive. An example promising actuator for supersonic applications SparkJet under at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. has demonstrated ability produce synthetic jet with high exhaust velocities, hence holds promise manipulating high-speed flows without moving aerodynamic structures. will require demonstration distributed arrays.
