Abstract :
A rapid resume of the basic theory of fluidic devices including wall attachment amplifiers, turbulance amplifiers, and vortex amplifiers is presented. The basic fluidic devices are then treated in their application as sensors of temperature and pressure, and there is a review of fluidic indicators and associated relays. Current application of these fluidic devices and fluidic systems for chemical industry inspection, and rejection, fluidic systems for the ammunition industry, and fluidic systems for jet air-craft controls are discussed. The discussion covers the operational benefits of the fluidic systems under actual operating field experience.
