Synthetic jet actuators (SJAs) are used for active flow control to achieve reduction of drag and noise as well as lift enhancement for airplane wings. The devices consist of a movable piezoelectric diaphragm and a closed cavity with a small orifice. The synthetic (i.e. zero net mass flux) jet is generated by the oscillation of the diaphragm and transfers momentum to the surrounding medium.
The present work studies a one dimensional analytical model for SJAs. The single parts of the actuator are described by a coupled set of mechanical and hydrodynamical equations. The model is used to analyse quantitatively the measured relation between diaphragm vibration and fluid flow through the orifice for different SJAs. In addition, an optimization of the cavity volume with respect to the resonance frequency of the diaphragm was carried out to maximize the performance of the device.
