REVIEW OF SOME FLUID OSCILLATORS

Abstract

Fluid oscillators of various types have been developed and applied to fluidic systems for sensing or missile control. The operating characteristics of these oscillators, including the dependence of the frequency on the stagnation pressure and temperature, are a function of the type of return loop employed for maintaining oscillations. This report discusses and summarizes the operating principles, design, frequency variation, and applications of some of the most prominent oscillators such as: The sonic, lumped R-C-R and L-R, edgetone, ringtone, and vortex oscillators.
