Abstract

Unsteady computations of laminar flow have been performed for two-dimensional configurations of micro-channel equipped with two synthetic jets. The effect of phasing has been investigated at in-phase and 180° out-of-phase of the synthetic jet actuators at a fixed operating frequency and oscillating amplitudes. It was shown that the 180° out-of-phase configuration of the synthetic jets promotes better and more continuous flow mixing within the channel during the oscillation. This was due to the discrete pattern of vortex forming which disrupts the main channel flow. The 180° out-of-phase jet configuration exhibits higher cooling performance compared to the in-phase jet configuration in terms of the reduction in the maximum temperature in the silicon wafer.
