Patent number: 11920617Abstract: Fluid systems and methods for addressing fluid separation are described. An example fluid system includes a main body and a fluid pressurizer. The main body has a first portion, a second portion, an injection opening, a suction opening, a channel that extends from the suction opening to the injection opening, and a side wall. The first portion has a first axis that extends along the side wall. The second portion has a second axis that extends along the side wall at an angle relative to the first axis such that when fluid flows over the main body flow separation is defined adjacent to the second portion. The injection opening is disposed at a first location relative to said flow separation. The suction opening is disposed at a second location relative to said flow separation. The channel extends from the suction opening to the injection opening.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: COFLOW JET, LLCInventor: Gecheng Zha

Publication number: 20240010325Abstract: Fluid systems are described. An example fluid system includes a body and a housing. The body has a leading edge, a trailing edge, a first portion, and a second portion attached to the first portion. The second portion is moveable relative to the first portion between a first position and a second position. The housing extends from the first portion to the second portion and is configured to move as the second portion moves relative to the first portion. The housing is moveable between a first configuration and a second configuration. The housing is in the first configuration when the second portion is in the first position and is in the second configuration when the second portion is in the second position. The housing has a first length when in the first configuration and a second length when in the second configuration that is greater than the first length.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: COFLOW JET, LLCInventor: Gecheng Zha
