Pulsed jet actuators are studied in a low-speed wind tunnel by means of phase-locked stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV) to examine the interaction of the jet with a turbulent boundary layer flow along a flat plate. The aim is the transport of high-momentum fluid from the outer part of the boundary layer flow towards the wall to actively delay or avoid flow separation. It is shown that a properly arranged actuator jet produces a strong streamwise vortex, which is well suited to enhance the desired mixing process. The strength and position of this streamwise vortex is of primary importance for the efficiency of the actuator concept. Different jet-exit-hole geometries, their impact on the vortex-structure and their ability to suppress or delay separation are discussed.
