Fluid systems that include a co-flow jet
Fluid systems are described herein. An example embodiment of a fluid system has a first body portion, a second body portion, a plurality of supports, a plurality of fluid pressurizers, and a plurality of ducts. The first body portion and the second body portion cooperatively define an injection opening, a suction opening, and a channel that extends from the injection opening to the suction opening. The fluid pressurizer is disposed within the channel cooperatively defined by the first body portion and the second body portion. Each duct of the plurality of ducts is disposed within the channel cooperatively defined by the first body portion and the second body portion.

a second body portion disposed within the recess defined by the main body of the first body portion, the second body portion attached to the first body portion, the first body portion and the second body portion cooperatively defining an injection opening, a suction opening, and a channel extending from the injection opening to the suction opening; and
a fluid pressurizer disposed within the channel.
2. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the second body portion has a second body portion trailing edge; and
wherein the injection opening is disposed between the leading edge of the first body portion and the second body portion trailing edge.
3. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the second body portion has a second body portion trailing edge; and
wherein the suction opening is disposed between the leading edge of the first body portion and the second body portion trailing edge.
4. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the first body portion has a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface extending from the leading edge to the first trailing edge and defining a curve, the bottom surface extending from the leading edge to the second trailing edge and defining a curve.
5. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the recess extends into the main body of the first body portion between the first trailing edge and the second trailing edge.
6. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the second body portion is partially disposed within the recess.
7. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the first body portion and the second body portion cooperatively define a cylinder.
8. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the first trailing edge and the second body portion cooperatively define the injection opening.
9. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the second trailing edge and the second body portion cooperatively define the suction opening.
10. The fluid system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of supports disposed between the first body portion and the second body portion, each support of the plurality of supports having a first end attached to the first body portion and a second end attached to the second body portion.
11. The fluid system of claim 1 , wherein the fluid pressurizer comprises a plurality of fluid pressurizers.
12. A fluid system comprising:
a first body portion having a leading edge, a first trailing edge, a second trailing edge, and a main body defining a recess, the recess extending into the main body of the first body portion between the first trailing edge and the second trailing edge;
a second body portion partially disposed within the recess defined by the main body of the first body portion, the second body portion attached to the first body portion and having a second body portion trailing edge, the first body portion and the second body portion cooperatively defining an injection opening, a suction opening, and a channel extending from the injection opening to the suction opening, the injection opening disposed between the leading edge of the first body portion and the second body portion trailing edge, the suction opening disposed between the leading edge of the first body portion and the second body portion trailing edge; and
a fluid pressurizer disposed within the channel.
13. The fluid system of claim 12 , wherein the first body portion and the second body portion cooperatively define a cylinder.
14. The fluid system of claim 12 , wherein the first trailing edge and the second body portion cooperatively define the injection opening.
15. The fluid system of claim 12 , wherein the second trailing edge and the second body portion cooperatively define the suction opening.
16. A fluid system comprising:
a body portion having a leading edge, a trailing edge, an injection opening, a suction opening, a channel, a first opening, a second opening, and a passageway, the injection opening disposed between the leading edge and the suction opening, the suction opening disposed between the injection opening and the trailing edge, the channel extending from the injection opening to the suction opening, the first opening in fluid communication with the channel and the passageway, the second opening defined on the leading edge and in fluid communication with the passageway and an environment exterior to the passageway, the passageway extending from the first opening to the second opening; and
a fluid pressurizer disposed within the channel.
17. The fluid system of claim 16 , wherein the passageway converges from the first opening to the second opening.
18. The fluid system of claim 16 , further comprising a first recess and a first valve, the first valve moveable between a first position and a second position, the first valve positioned within the first recess when in the first position such that fluid can flow through the channel and out of the injection opening to the environment exterior to the channel, the first valve positioned such that fluid is prevented from flowing through the injection opening when in the second position.
19. The fluid system of claim 16 , further comprising a second recess and a second valve, the second valve moveable between a first position and a second position, the second valve positioned such that fluid is prevented from flowing through the first opening and into the passageway when in the first position, the second valve positioned within the second recess when in the second position such that fluid can flow through the first opening and into the passageway.
20. The fluid system of claim 16 , further comprising a third recess and a third valve, the third valve moveable between a first position and a second position, the third valve positioned such that fluid is prevented from flowing through the second opening and out of the passageway when in the first position, the third valve positioned within the third recess when in the second position such that fluid can flow through the second opening to the environment exterior to the passageway.
