Numerical and experimental analysis of a synthetic jet actuator in quiescent air is reported. The study focuses on the actuator itself and on the vorticity field as well as on structures that are generated by the actuator. Large eddies simulation was used for numerical analysis and phase-locked, two-dimensional microscopic-particle image velocimetry technique was used in the experiment. In the numerical simulation, the equations were integrated using a nondissipative scheme that enforces discrete conservation of kinetic energy. The internal cavity flow of the actuator was part of the simulation. The actuator under consideration is of a unique design, fabricated to accommodate practical issues associated with helicopter rotor application. However, it has the same operating principles as a conventional synthetic jet actuator. Harmonics of the forcing frequency were traced in the velocity field. Insight into the evolution of the vortical structures, jet flapping, and onset of turbulence in the jet was retrieved. This is an important building block for better understanding of the interaction of synthetic jets with boundary layers.
