dc.description.abstractSynthetic jet actuators possess a continuous jet like behavior in its far region and have found wide-scale engineering applications since it allows momentum transport to the flow system without any net mass transfer across the flow boundaries. The case of a non-axisymmetric synthetic jet is particularly significant since it is affected by the differential shear layer at the orifice exit, that depends on its aspect ratio. However, despite exhaustive research on both continuous and synthetic jets, very few studies have experimentally investigated the case of rectangular orifice synthetic jets, focusing on the effect of aspect ratio of the orifice as well as the actuation frequency upon the vortex behavior and the flow physics. In particular, the intriguing phenomenon of vortex bifurcation has mostly been reported only for an individual vortex or for a plain jet. Yet, in a train of vortex rings, such as that obtained in a synthetic jet, the occurrence of vortex bifurcation can be expected, although the flow physics in the wake of individual vortex rings is significantly different. The present study experimentally investigates a rectangular orifice synthetic jet at different orifice aspect ratios and actuation frequencies, focusing on exploring the conditions at which vortex bifurcation occurs, through LIF imaging and Hot-film measurements. The primary objective of these experiments is to provide a qualitative physical insight into the synthetic jet ejected from a rectangular orifice (through LIF imaging), as well as to quantitatively explore the experimental conditions that promote different flow structures (through velocity time trace, time-averaged velocity profiles and power spectral density measurements), particularly the bifurcation of vortex rings. Our experiments indicate that the phenomenon of vortex bifurcation is observed during the axial switching of vortex rings, but only in a narrow range of experimental conditions. Further, the velocity measurements have ascertained that the two prominent reasons behind this bifurcation process are a large disparity in the velocities of the vortex core and the center of vortex ring, as well as the time lag in which the separation distance between the counter-rotating vortices decrease gradually to zero.en_US
