Cover Story: Synthetic Jet Actuators (SJAs) generate jets through a vibrating diaphragm, creating a zero-net mass flux while transferring momentum to the working fluid. SJAs are ideal for active flow control applications without an external fluid supply. They produce periodic jets that manipulate boundary layer characteristics by oscillating a membrane. SJAs enhance aerodynamic performance, reduce drag, and improve lift across engineering domains. However, implementing effective control schemes is challenging due to complex interactions between geometrical and operational parameters. Researchers have extensively studied SJAs in various flow conditions. This review explains their working mechanism and provides an overview of their design principles and emerging applications in aerodynamic control. View this paper
