This project is focused on development Synthetic Jet actuators (active flow control device) to improve the deteriorated aerodynamic characteristics of the low Reynolds number flow regimes and potentially use the same structure as a maneuvering device over micro aerial vehicles (MAV). This research work covers the characterization of synthetic jets using numerical simulation (CFD) and experimental data from wind tunnel for validation (MAV developed in our team).
