Schlieren Flow Visualization and Analysis of Synthetic Jets

This work explores several low-cost methods for the visualization and analysis of pulsed synthetic jets for cooling applications. The visualization methods tested include smoke, Schlieren imaging, and thermography. The images were analyzed using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and numerical me...

Schlieren Flow Visualization and Analysis of Synthetic Jets
description This work explores several low-cost methods for the visualization and analysis of pulsed synthetic jets for cooling applications. The visualization methods tested include smoke, Schlieren imaging, and thermography. The images were analyzed using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and numerical methods for videos. The results indicated that for the specific nozzle studied, the optimal cooling occurred at a frequency of 80 Hz, which also corresponded to the highest energy in the POD analysis. The combination of Schlieren photography and POD is a unique contribution as a method for the optimization of synthetic jets.
