Abstract
A fluidic oscillator includes at least one inlet port (57) in communication with at least two outlets (61) via a nozzle region and two outlet conduits (58, 62), the two outlet conduits being separated from each other by a splitter region. Each outlet conduit includes a resonance chamber (60) in fluid communication with the conduit. The resonance chambers contribute to controlling the oscillation of the device. The fluidic oscillator is operatable in an acoustic switching mode.
Claims14
A fluidic oscillator comprising at least one inlet port in communication with at least two outlets via a nozzle region having no control terminals and two outlet conduits, the two outlet conduits being separated from each other by a splitter region comprising a cusp region configured to create a circulation vortex, and each outlet conduit comprising an acoustic resonance chamber in fluid communication with each outlet conduit, wherein each acoustic resonance chamber is configured to induce oscillation control.
