ABSTRACT

The viscous flow in the fluidic amplifier is simulated numerically based on CFD technology, and many tests have been done to verify the numerical precision. The results show that the calculated data are good agreement with the experimental data. So the numerical simulation of the viscous flow in the fluidic amplifier is accurate and reliable, and it can be applied to investigate the steady flow and unsteady flow in the fluidic amplifier.
