Abstract
Large scale application of synthetic jet actuators requires the implementation of an array of such devices. We investigate the interaction between parallel rectangular twin synthetic jets and an incoming turbulent boundary layer, using stereoscopic PIV measurements. By varying critical parameters, such as the orifice separation distance and the phase difference between the jets, we observed noticeable differences in the vectoring behavior and related shear stresses. These results may be useful in establishing optimum configurations and operating conditions for synthetic jet arrays, in the context of flow control and drag reduction.
