Plasma Structure in the Aerodynamic Plasma Actuator

42nd AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2004
The aerodynamic plasma actuator is a surface discharge configuration dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma using a highly asymmetric electrode configuration with one electrode exposed to air and the other encapsulated by dielectric material, driven by a high voltage (5-10 kV) AC waveform (2-10 kHz).

Characterization of Discharge Modes of Plasma Actuators

AIAA Journal, 2008
Atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharges for aerodynamic flow control are investigated. The properties of the plasma discharge during positive and negative half-cycles of the driving voltage are studied experimentally and numerically. The simulations are performed in nitrogen.

Plasma Actuation for the Control of a Supersonice Projectile

AIAA Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference and Exhibit, 2008
The generation of a plasma discharge on a projectile surface seems to be a way of producing a pressure imbalance in order to deviate a projectile from its initial trajectory. Thus, some experiments on the possibility of steering a supersonic projectile by using a plasma actuator are presented.

Flow Control Using Plasma Actuators and Linear/Annular Plasma Synthetic Jet Actuators

3rd AIAA Flow Control Conference, 2006
This paper investigates the use of dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators in low Re flow control applications. Three different actuator geometries have been tested: a conventional design using two rectangular strip electrodes (the linear actuator) that produces a nearly two-dimensional horizontal wall jet upon actuation, and two new designs that

Plasma Actuator Force Measurements

AIAA Journal, 2007
In previous work at the U.S. Air Force Academy, the phenomenology and behavior of the aerodynamic plasma actuator, a dielectric barrier discharge plasma, was investigated. To provide insight into the phenomenology associated with the transfer of momentum to air by a plasma actuator, the velocity distributions upstream and downstream of a plasma ...

On Plasma Synthetic Jet Actuators

44th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2006
The term plasma actuator refers to an asymmetric arrangement of two electrodes (typically rectangular strips) separated by dielectric material that can be used as active flow control devices. A plasma actuator design consisting of an annular electrode array, the plasma synthetic jet actuator (PSJA), is experimentally investigated in this paper.

Supersonic Plasma and Thermal Actuator

46th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2008
In supersonic flows control by thermal and plasma actuators present complex problem because it is necessary to produce vortexes with circulation compared the supersonic flow. Plasma control of supersonic flow is much more difficult problem because of complex plasma chemistry and plasma electrodynamics.
