Abstract
A method for producing a fluidic device ( ) for exciting an oscillating jet ( ) of predetermined oscillation and mixing characteristics. The fluidic device ( ) includes a chamber ( ) having a fluid outlet ( ) longitudinally displaced from a fluid inlet ( ). The fluid inlet ( ) is disposed such that in use the fluid ( ) entering the chamber ( ) through the fluid inlet ( ) separates from the inner surface of chamber ( ) to excite an oscillating jet ( ). The method includes the step of configuring the geometry of the shape and/or dimensions of the cross section of the fluid inlet ( ) to determine the mode of oscillation and mixing characteristics of the oscillating jet ( ). A fluidic device ( ′) for exciting an oscillating jet ( ′) whose characteristics can be determined to meet operational requirements.
