No-moving-part pressure regulator/load-isolator fluidic element
Abstract
The paper describes a jet-type element based on a bistable diverting amplifier utilizing the Coanda effect with jet attachment alternating between two attachment walls. The element has no moving parts and is capable of performing the task of regulator or stabilizer operating in the by-pass mode; the isolator effect was also observed. The geometry of the interaction zone is considered and some experimental results on this element are presented.
