The design of flueric, turbulent wall attachment flip-flops
Abstract
A design guide to meet both static and dynamic specifications for a flueric wall-attachment flip-flop with straight walls, a sharp splitter, and decoupled outputs is presented. Parametric graphs of pressure recovery, attachment point location, blocked control pressure, switch pressure, switch flow, pressure gain, fan-out and response time are presented. Simple closed-form relations for output characteristics, frequency response, and maximum frequency response are also given. A frequency response on the order of 1000 Hz for a device with a nozzle width of 0.5 mm was obtained and experimentally verified.
