Abstract
Experiments on fluidic control in an asymmetric diffuser are described. For fluidic control, fluid injection through a cross-flow slit placed upstream of the diffuser is applied. Both continuous and oscillating fluid injection is considered. Geometries of slit edges, slit width and partitioning of the slit have been varied. The control strategies combine three elementary processes: momentum injection in the flow direction, removal of the boundary layer by suction and enhancement of turbulent mixing by means of large scale 3-D vortical-flow structures. Momentum injection is only beneficial when the injection velocity is higher than the main flow velocity. In particular velocities of half the main flow velocity turn out to be most detrimental. Suction remains quite efficient even at low velocities. This explains why oscillating flow with low amplitudes is more efficient than flow with moderately high amplitudes. Partitioning of the slit does clearly promote fluidic control by inducing 3-D vortical-flow structures.
