Synthetic jet actuators and hybrid synthetic actuators are investigated in this book from both theoretical and experimental points of view. The main property observed for synthetic jet actuators is the frequency behavior of the velocity amplitude at the nozzle output of the actuator. This behavior was studied previously in many other publications; however, most of these papers have focused on actuators constrained by short stream-wise dimensions. Based on experiments, this book also describes the properties of actuators with longer stream-wise dimensions and introduces new mathematical models to characterize them. Hybrid synthetic jets are quite similar to synthetic jets, but they differ in the rectification of the flow in the nozzle. The rectification is achieved by additional fluidic diodes incorporated to the actuator. A measure of the flow rectification is the volumetric efficiency. This book introduces a new design for this kind of actuator that is tested experimentally; a very high volumetric efficiency is found at the second velocity resonance of the actuator.

This book provides a basic understanding of adaptive control and its applications in Flight control. It discusses the designing of an adaptive feedback control system and analyzes this for flight control of linear and nonlinear aircraft models using synthetic jet actuators. It also discusses control methodologies and the application of control techniques which will help practicing flight control and active flow control researchers. It also covers modelling and control designs which will also benefit researchers from the background of fluid mechanics and health management of actuation systems. The unique feature of this book is characterization of synthetic jet actuator nonlinearities over a wide range of angles of attack, an adaptive compensation scheme for such nonlinearities, and a systematic framework for feedback control of aircraft dynamics with synthetic jet actuators.

The book reports on the latest theoretical and experimental findings in the field of active flow and combustion control. It covers new developments in actuator technology and sensing, in robust and optimal open- and closed-loop control, as well as in model reduction for control, constant volume combustion and dynamic impingement cooling. The chapters reports oncutting-edge contributions presented during the fourth edition of the Active Flow and Combustion Control conference, held in September 19 to 21, 2018 at the Technische Universität Berlin, in Germany. This conference, as well as the research presented in the book, have been supported by the collaborative research center SFB 1029 on “Substantial efficiency increase in gas turbines through direct use of coupled unsteady combustion and flow dynamics”, funded by the DFG (German Research Foundation). It offers a timely guide for researchers and practitioners in the field of aeronautics, turbomachinery, control and combustion.
