Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the influence of an asymmetric slot on the flow characteristics of synthetic jets. In this study, the relation between flow characteristics of two-dimensional synthetic jets and beak-shaped asymmetric slots is investigated experimentally and numerically. Results clarify that the vortex pair with different x-direction locations induced by the asymmetric slot produces a large-scale circulation region on the opposite side of the beak in the case of long beaks. It is also demonstrated that flow fields for synthetic jets depend on asymmetric slot beak length; in contrast, continuous jets are independent of asymmetric slot beak length.
