- Title
Oscillating Wall Jets for Active Flow Control in a Laboratory Fume Hood--Experimental Investigations.

- Abstract
Wall jets are applied to reduce flow separation and recirculation of the airflow entering the inner space of a laboratory fume hood through its front opening. The flow separation in the hood was further reduced by introducing a self-induced oscillatory motion using fluidic oscillators. The design of the oscillators integrated in the predetermined contour are based on numerical simulations. The effect of the steady and unsteady wall jet was investigated experimentally using flow visualization, particle image velocimetry (PIV), and containment measurements. The oscillatory wall-jet led to reduction of flow separation and recirculation even at lower injection volume flows. In consequence, the usage of fluidic oscillators for a laboratory fume hood increases the energy efficiency of the system without reducing the safety of the laboratory fume hood.
