Abstract

Experimental tests were conducted to control the flow around a cylinder by means of unsteady blowing (synthetic jet) through a single slot disposed on the wall of the model. The flow Reynolds number (based on the diameter of the model) was R_D = 10^5. The efficiency of the synthetic jet is quantified in terms of delaying separation and modifying the drag coefficient. The investigations were of three types: measurements of the mean pressure distribution, wall visualizations of the separation line position and measurements of the mean flow-field in the wake.
