Development of scaled models for Synthetic Jet Actuators based on Aerodynamic Characterization in CFD, Ground and Wind Tunnel Testing High fidelity numerical simulations will be used to characterize the synthetic jet actuators. The CFD data will be validated by ground tests (w/o cross flow) and wind tunnel tests (with cross flow). The results of the numerical simulations will be used to develop scale models for performance estimation and calculation of geometrical design parameters of the actuators.
