Dual Synthetic Jets Actuator and Its Applications—Part II: Novel Fluidic Thrust-Vectoring Method Based on Dual Synthetic Jets Actuator

A novel fluidic thrust-vectoring (FTV) control method based on dual synthetic jets actuator (DSJA) is proposed and evaluated. Numerical simulations are governed by the compressible Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) equations. According to results, DSJA capable of deflecting a primary jet with velocity 100 m/s height 50 mm approximately 18 degrees momentum coefficient 1.96%. It produces comparatively linear characteristics in almost all deflection angles evaluated (0~23 degrees). The low pressure generated DSJA, ejecting enhanced co-flow effect produced accelerated secondary play roles jet. Since strong enough, potential provide thrust vector revealed.
