HEAT-TRANSFER CONTROL OF AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT USING SYNTHETIC JET ACTUATORS
ABSTRACT
In this study, synthetic jet is used to control the horseshoe vortices zones (HVZ) resulting from a cross flow and impinging jet interaction around an electronic component to regulate and enhance the distribution of heat transfer on the electronic component. Another important objective of this study is to investigate the effect of synthetic jet parameters such as momentum coefficient and actuator frequency on separation HVZ. We demonstrate that momentum coefficient and actuator frequency values have great influence on studied flow features. Our results show that the use of synthetic jet as active control modifies the fluid flow structure around the electronic component and significantly improves heat transfer.
