A series of unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computations are performed for the flow of a synthetic jet issuing into a turbulent boundary layer through a circular orifice. This is one of the validation test cases from a synthetic jet validation workshop held in March 2004. Several numerical parameters are investigated, and the effects of three different turbulence models are explored. Both long-time-averaged and time-dependent phase-averaged results are compared to experiment. On the whole, qualitative comparisons of the mean flow quantities are fairly good. There are many differences evident in the quantitative comparisons. The calculations do not exhibit a strong dependence on the type of turbulence model employed.Rumsey, Christopher L.Langley Research CenterCROSS FLOW; TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER; UNSTEADY FLOW; COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS; JET FLOW; PARTICLE IMAGE VELOCIMETRY; COMPUTER PROGRAMS; ORIFICE FLOW; BOUNDARY CONDITIONS; REYNOLDS AVERAGING; NAVIER-STOKES EQUATION; TIME DEPENDENCE; THREE DIMENSIONAL FLOW
