Conference Object Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 43Phase-Synchronized Fluidic Oscillator Pair(Amer inst Aeronautics Astronautics, 2019-02) Tomac, Mehmet N.; Gregory, James W.The relative phase of oscillating jets from a pair of fluidic oscillators was synchronized in this work. The means for this synchronization was mutual interaction through a shared feedback channel between the two oscillators. Flow visualization and hot-wire measurements indicated a strong correlation and phase synchronization between the two oscillators. A numerical analysis offered better understanding of the internal flow physics that led to the synchronization phenomenon. A portion of the output jet from one fluidic oscillator was redirected and crossed over into the adjacent oscillator, leading to momentum transfer between the two oscillators. A portion of this cross-oscillator flow was directed into the shared feedback channel and constituted the main feedback flow. In this process, one of the shared feedback channel outlets was blocked by a vortex, allowing only one oscillator to receive feedback flow. The primary mechanism for in-phase synchronization was the cross-oscillator flow, which was divided into phase-modulated momentum injection to the primary jet and modulated flow input to the shared channel feedback channel.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 11Jet Interactions in a Feedback- Free Fluidic Oscillator at Low Flow Rate(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc. custserv@aiaa.org, 2013-06-22) Tomac, Mehmet N.; Gregory, James W.In this work, the internal fluid dynamics and frequency characteristics of feedback-free fluidic oscillators are investigated experimentally for low flow rates below 3.4 mL/s. The internal flow field of feedback-free fluidic oscillator was extracted using a refractive index-matched Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique with the help of a problem-specific sensor setup for simultaneous frequency measurements in refractive index matching fluid. The oscillation mechanism for the low flow rate region was revealed with PIV measurements. Flow topologies extracted with the measurements were found to exhibit various flow features and the details of the jets interactions and vortical balance that lead to oscillatory behavior were discussed. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
