Plasma actuator: Influence of dielectric surface temperature [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 2012
Plasma actuators have become the topic of interest of many researchers for the purpose of flow control. They have the advantage of manipulating the flow without the need for any moving parts, a small surface profile which does not disturb the free stream flow, and the ability to switch them on or off depending on the particular situation (active flow ...

Experimental investigation of influence of sliding discharge DBD plasma on low-speed boundary layer

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2020
In this study, we investigated the effects of surface sliding discharge of a dielectric barrier discharge (SL-DBD) plasma actuator on the boundary layer flow using the time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique.

Effects of mainstream velocity and setting position on flow separation control of a curved wall using plasma actuators

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2019
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators were used for the active control of flow separation on a curved wall simulated suction surface of a gas turbine blade at three different mainstream velocities, UMS = 2.2 m/s, 4.1 m/s, and 6.3 m/s. Owing

Gurney flap effect using jet induced by plasma actuator

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
Lift and drag variations by plasma actuators have been investigated under flow at low Reynolds numbers ranging from 1.7×104 to 6.6×104. Wall-normal-jet type and counter-jet type plasma actuators are attached on the pressure surface near the trailing edge

Drag reduction due to recirculating bubble control using plasma actuator on a squareback model

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Flow control on a squareback object which resembles many engineering related objects is believed to be highly beneficial. One of the flow characteristics behind the object, recirculating bubble, is known to play significant role in pressure distribution.
