Compact zero-mass pulsatile jet actuators are proposed for low speed maneuvering and station keeping of small, autonomous underwater vehicles. Hence, the optimization of synthetic jets for maximal thrust generation is being investigated. Flow field of such jets are initially dominated by vortex ring...
