Abstract An investigation into the behaviour of clustered synthetic jet Actuators for flow-control applications is described. Experiments have been undertaken with two small-scale synthetic jet actuators in a zero-pressure gradient boundary-layer, in order to investigate the effect of configuration yaw angle and relative input signal phase. Oil-flow visualisation and hotwire anemometry techniques were used, demonstrating that changes in the downstream flow structure could be observed. Compared to a streamwise configuration, in which a symmetrical counter-rotating vortex pair was produced by the synthetic jet-boundary-layer interaction, a broader asymmetric interaction was produced in a 15° yaw configuration. Streamwise velocity contour plots, illustrating the development of the interaction downstream, over four phase angles, were presented. Significant differences in the PSD analyses of downstream streamwise velocity time histories were found, suggesting that input signal phase could influence the stability and hence effectiveness of flow structures used in flow-control applications.
