Abstract: A method and apparatus of maximizing transfer of thermal energy to or from an oscillating or swept air jet propogated over a windshield. The air jet is projected through short distances in ambient from a nozzle properly aimed at said windshield. The wavelength of the oscillating or swept jet is caused to be greater than the nozzle distance from windshield and smaller than the length extent of windshield in the direction of air jet propogation across it whereby there is less of loss or gain of thermal energy from said air jet in the space between said nozzle and said windshield and a maximum transfer of thermal energy between the windshield and air jet by lessening the thickness of any insulating boundary layer.

Abstract: A fluid dispersal device utilizes alternately pulsating vortices to cyclically oscillate a fluid stream transversely of its flow direction in a desired flow pattern. A pair of pulsating fluid streams, which may issue from a fluidic oscillator are projected into an output region or chamber defined in a body member the output region or chamber having inlets for the pulsating fluid streams and at least one outlet opening with the outlet opening being positioned to issue pressurized fluid from the chamber into an ambient atmospher. Vortices formed in the chamber are alternately oppositely rotating and cause the flow pattern to cyclically sweep across the outlet. The vortices have axes normal to the direction of fluid flow and alternately spin in first and second directions in response to inflowing of the first and second pulsating fluid streams to the chamber and the output flow is cyclically swept back and forth as each vortex spins in the first and second directions respectively.

Abstract: An oscillating spray device comprising an oscillation chamber. A power nozzle for projecting a jet of liquid under pressure into the oscillation chamber in a given direction. A reversing member in the chamber has a reversing wall for reversing the direction of flow of the fluid jet in a direction 180° opposite the given direction. A system of vortices is formed thereby for alternately passing fluid to one side or the other of the reversing member. A pair of passages, one on each side of the reversing member, convey alternate pulses of fluid through the passageways in the given direction past the reversing member to an outlet to ambient, and an island barrier positioned in the outlet to ambient and forming two separate passageways to the outlet and a third passageway between the reversing member and the island barrier. The spray characteristics can be adjusted by changing the spacing between the reversing member and island barrier.

Abstract: An air discharge nozzle and method for vehicles having a grill which has a high degree of visual opacity to enhance design aesthetics, low impedance to air flow so that the face velocity remains high, and which does not significantly affect directionality of the air as imparted to the air stream by an upstream control mechanism. The grill is comprised of a monolayer of polygonal cells in an array of cells, each cell being bounded by planar walls having a depth "L" interstitial thickness "T" and a diameter or major dimension "D", wherein the interstitial depth L is short enough such that the planar walls do not act as vanes to significantly affect directionality of the air, the interstitial thickness T has a value such that the impedance to air flow is low, and the length to diameter ratio L/D is no greater than about 0.7 and no less than about 0.3, such that the relative visual opacity of the grill when viewed from any angle is high. The open cell area Ao must be at least about 76% of the available (total) area to obtain an acceptable 1800 ft/min face velocity at a blower pressure of 0.24 inches H.sub.2 O.The upstream directionality control mechanism includes an open intruder frame having converging walls. The intruder frame has an axially projecting control shaft which carries a spherical member frictionally received in a spherical socket formed in the grill such that the control shaft can easily be manually manipulated.

Abstract: A fluidic oscillator for issuing a sweeping jet of air has a continuous inertance loop which has a section passing through the power nozzle of the fluidic oscillator. The continuous inertance loop is essentially coplanar with the plane of the fluidic oscillator so the basic oscillator element can be two identical molded parts which snap fit together.

Abstract: An air distribution system, particularly for automobiles, in which the depth of the unit is relatively short and in which control over the direction of air flow can be achieved by movement of an element in a plane orthogonal to the direction of air flow. A main air flow outlet is formed in a wall member and a parallel flow path is formed adjacent the outlet and has diverging walls which are relatively short so that there is no wall attachment or coanda effects per se. Flow of fluid through the adjacent parallel flow path exits through an opening that directs the air in a direction generally parallel to the short wall direction of the adjacent flow path. By controlling the entry of air into the parallel flow path, the main air flow vector is deflected and the direction of flow is thereby controlled. The deflection is greater when an obstacle slightly intrudes the side of the outlet opposite the parallel flow path. With a rectangular outlet opening, four adjacent parallel paths with short, straight or curved walls and adjacent parallel passages and obstacle intruders, the flow can be controlled in four directions or can be caused to diffuse generally in a forward direction. The element for control is basically a plate element movable in the plane transverse to the direction of the main air flow so that relatively short depth is required for installation of the device in an automobile system. By adding a control flap, the angular sweep can be greatly enlarged.
