PULSATING FLOW GENERATING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING PULSATING FLOW GENERATING APPARATUS

摘要

Pulsating flow generating apparatus that changes the volume of a fluid chamber and injects fluid from a fluid injection opening in a pulsed manner, includes: an inlet flow channel for supplying fluid from a fluid supplying unit to the fluid chamber; a volume changing unit that changes the volume of the fluid chamber; an outlet flow channel that delivers the fluid from the fluid chamber to the fluid injection opening; a discharge flow channel that discharges the fluid from the fluid chamber; and an opening and closing valve that opens and closes the discharge flow channel, wherein the synthetic inertance of the discharge flow channel is set smaller than the synthetic inertance of the outlet flow channel, an operation of the volume changing unit is started while closing the opening and closing valve, and the operation of the volume changing unit is stopped while opening the opening and closing valve.

1. A pulsating flow generating apparatus that changes the volume of a fluid chamber and injects fluid from a fluid injection opening in a pulsed manner, comprising:
an inlet flow channel for supplying fluid from a fluid supplying unit to the fluid chamber; a volume changing unit that changes the volume of the fluid chamber; an outlet flow channel that delivers the fluid from the fluid chamber to the fluid injection opening; a discharge flow channel that discharges the fluid from the fluid chamber; an opening and closing valve that opens and closes the discharge flow channel; and a sucking unit disposed on the downstream side of the opening and closing valve where the fluid is discharged for sucking the fluid, wherein:
an operation of the sucking unit is stopped and an operation of the volume changing unit is started while closing the opening and closing valve, andthe operation of the sucking unit is started and the operation of the volume changing unit is stopped while opening the opening and closing valve.
