Abstract

A system and method for a self-rotating fluidic traverse actuator are provided. A turbine rotates in response to a fluid flow, and an outer cylinder with a longitudinal slot that ejects the fluid flow. An inner cylinder rotates inside the outer cylinder in response to a rotation of the turbine and at least one helical slot of the inner cylinder ejects the fluid flow into the longitudinal slot.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to fluid dynamic design. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the design of fluid actuators. Background technique [0002] Flow control can be used to enhance lift performance using a fluid source, such as bleed air from an engine or a dedicated compressor. The airflow from the fluid source is ejected from the aircraft in the general direction of airflow across the top of the wing or flap. The jet of air imparts momentum to the air flow over the wing or flap. This momentum causes the airflow to better follow the surface of the wing or flap. Thus, the circulating flow is increased around the entire airfoil including the wing or flaps and a higher lift is obtained. [0003] However, current airflow control methods require a significant amount of injected airflow to achieve meaningful design goals. Aircraft engines can be used to supply air to be actuated by "exhaust...
