Abstract
A fluidic system is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of fluidic oscillatory actuators, and at least one synchronization conduit connecting two or more of the actuators such as to effect synchronization between oscillations in the two or more connected actuators.
Claims29
A fluidic system, comprising:
- a plurality of fluidic oscillatory actuators;
- and
- at least one synchronization conduit connecting at least two of said actuators such as to effect synchronization between oscillations in said at least two actuators.
7-9. (canceled)
An active separation control system, comprising a fluidic oscillatory actuator having an ejector member and an oscillator member both mounted on a flexible member, said fluidic oscillatory actuator being mountable on a rotatable door of a vehicle such that said flexible member assumes a different shape when said door is closed than when said door is open.
A method of synchronizing fluidic oscillatory actuators, comprising establishing fluid flow within at least one synchronization conduit connecting at least two actuators such as to effect synchronization between oscillations in said at least two actuators.
