Abstract
An actuator assembly is capable of manipulating a fluid flowing around a flow body, the fluid being received or able to be received in a volume of at least one cavity arranged in the flow body, and the fluid passing through at least one opening in the at least one cavity during manipulation of the fluid. In this process, the volume of the at least one cavity can be changed by moving a wall portion delimiting or defining the cavity. The actuator assembly has a drive unit with at least one actuator, which executes a periodic movement over time when actuated, causing a translational movement of the wall portion delimiting or defining the cavity and the wall portion being shaped in terms the topology thereof in such a way that it is adapted to the shape of the at least one cavity with the at least one opening thereof.
