Effects of Bent Outlet on Characteristics of a Fluidic Oscillator with and without External Flow
Nam-Hun Kim, Kwang-Yong Kim
April 27, 2023
A fluidic oscillator with a bent outlet nozzle was investigated to find the effects of the bending angle on the characteristics of the oscillator with and without external flow. Unsteady aerodynamic analyses were performed on the internal flow of the oscillator with two feedback channels and the interaction between oscillator jets and external flow on a NACA0015 airfoil. The analyses were performed using three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a shear stress transport turbulence model. The bending angle was tested in a range of 0−40°. The results suggest that the jet frequency increases with the bending angle for high mass flow rates, but at a bending angle of 40°, the oscillation of the jet disappears. The pressure drop through the oscillator increases with the bending angle for positive bending angles. The external flow generally suppresses the jet oscillation, and the effect of external flow on the frequency increases as the bending angle increases. The effect of external flow on the peak velocity ratio at the exit is dominant in the cases where the jet oscillation disappears.
