Box oscillator with slot interconnect

摘要

A low pressure fluidic oscillator having an oscillation chamber having a centerline, and a pair of mutually facing and complementary-shaped sidewalls, planar top and bottom walls, upstream end and downstream end walls. An input power nozzle is formed in the upstream end wall having a width PW and a depth PDD, for issuing a jet of liquid into the oscillation chamber and forming alternately pulsating vortices in the oscillation chamber on each side of the jet, respectively. An outlet opening is formed in the downstream end wall and substantially axially aligned with the power nozzle. A pair of short sidewalls diverge in a downstream direction from the outlet opening. The distance from the power nozzle to the outlet opening being L. A slot is formed in at least one of said top and bottom walls, the slot having a slot centerline which is spaced upstream from the outlet opening a distance from about the edge of the downstream end of said oscillation chamber to about 0.48L.
