Effects of multijet coupling on propulsive performance in underwater pulsed jets

Despite the importance of pulsed jets for underwater propulsion, the effect of multiple-jet interactions remains poorly understood. We experimentally investigate how interactions between parallel jets in a pulsed-jet thruster affect the thruster's propulsive performance. Using high-speed fluore...
