Abstract
A thermal management system (201) is provided which includes a housing (203) equipped with a first set of apertures S1={a1, ai} (213), a second set of apertures S2={b1, . . . bj} (215) and a set of entrainment features S3={c1, Ck} (217), wherein i, j, k≧1, and wherein, for any pair of adjacent apertures Pa={am, bn}, wherein am ε S1 and m ε I={1, . . . , i}, and wherein bn ε S2 and n ε J={1, . . . , j}, there is at least one entrainment feature cp ε S3 which is disposed between aperture am and aperture bn, wherein p ε K={1, . . . , k} . The thermal management system also includes a synthetic jet actuator disposed in said housing which is in fluidic communication with the sets of apertures S1 and S2 and which operates to create a synthetic jet at each aperture dr ε { S1, S2}, wherein r ε I∪J.
