I happened to run across a few articles on pulsating the jet flow in impingement cooling the other day. From what I gather, by making the flow pulsate or intermittent, it forces the convective cooling boundary layer to re-establish itself, thereby improving performance.

Has anybody ever heard of this or even know if it's been tried? :shrug:

I attached one of the papers for your amusement. Sorry the lady at the library was a retard and scanned every other page upside down.
