Abstract
The flow around a square cylinder with a synthetic jet positioned at the rear surface is numerically investigated with unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) method. Different exciting signals are utilized to generate the synthetic jets, including the square signal, triangle signal, sinusoidal signal and the varying duty-cycle signal. The wake vortices evolution and the frequency characteristic are analyzed for all the cases. In the case with the square signal, the vortex shedding pattern is not essentially changed due to the deficiency of the synthetic jet strength. The synchronization at half of the exciting frequency is observed for both of the sinusoidal and triangle signal, where the alternative deflection of the jet vortex pairs is detected correspondingly. The complete synchronization is discovered in the case with the duty-cycle \(k=2\) signal, where the wake is symmetrical and totally controlled by the synthetic jets. The drag coefficient is calculated to contrast the control efficiency of different signals. The most satisfactory control performance is achieved in the case with the duty cycle \(k=2\) signal as well, where a \(33.71\%\) of drag reduction is realized compared to that without control.
