A method for generating dynamically controllable oscillatory fluid flow, and corresponding device and system for implementing the method thereof. Based on a unique configuration and operation of a driver, a chopper, a flow guide, and connectors, or, alternatively, a combined driver/chopper unit, a flow guide, and connectors, for generating dynamically controllable oscillatory fluid flow, in a simple and efficient manner, featuring the capability of producing a zero mean oscillatory fluid flow rate, and oscillation parameters of high frequency, up to about 1 kHz, high amplitude, and variable wave form. Optional valves are included in the device for increasing the range of mean rate of oscillatory fluid flow. From a constant circulatory fluid flow, a component of oscillatory fluid flow is generated and is dynamically controllable according to the structure, configuration, and operation of the chopper and chopper components. Use of a flow guide in the device simply enables directional control or guidance of the oscillatory fluid flow component, by separating the oscillatory fluid flow component from the constant circulatory fluid flow, in order for the oscillatory fluid flow component to exit the device for input into another device or system utilizing the oscillatory fluid flow, according to a particular application. The invention is particularly applicable for achieving high levels of dynamically controllable oscillatory fluid flow, enabling improving performance of aerodynamic objects such as aircraft wings, translating to improving flight safety and efficiency.
