  • Patent number: 9073628
    Abstract: Generator (1) of synthetic jets (2) for a main flow of fluid, comprising a cavity (10) delimited by a fixed wall (13) and a mobile wall. The fixed wall comprises a sleeve (8) and a head (4) provided with an orifice (14) through which the generated jet of fluid (2) is drawn in from and ejected into the main flow of fluid. The mobile wall is opposite the head. The generator comprises a rigid piston (3) including the mobile wall and sliding in a fluid-tight manner in the sleeve (8), and comprises an actuator mechanically linked with the piston and able to drive the piston with an alternating movement having an amplitude and a frequency. The actuator is capable of providing a movement of variable amplitude and frequency, at least the amplitude being variable during the movement. The actuator comprises a mechanism for the mechanical amplification of displacement.
