Summary
Fluidics is the technology dealing with the use of a flowing liquid or gas in various devices for controls and fluid transfers. Existing fluidic technology transfers fluid at approximately the same rate as air lifts and jets. A vortex diode combined in parallel with a jet (vortex diode jet) produces significantly higher transfer rates` and retains the fluidic system advantages. This paper presents the proof of concept research and gives design parameters for the vortex diode jet. The goal of this research was to develop a vortex diode jet that would improve fluidic system transfer rates, and to develop and verify the,design equations. Proven design equations could then be used to design, and model vortex diode jet systems. This research has shown that vortex diode jets improve fluidic system transfer rate by up to 60 percent and can be modelled with the design equations.
