Boundary Layer Control with a Plasma Actuator Utilizing a Large GND Mesh Electrode and Two HV Electrode Configurations [PDF]
This article presents the results of experimental studies on the influence of the geometry of high-voltage plasma actuator electrodes on the change in flow in the boundary layer and their influence on the change in the lift coefficient.

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

Modeling of dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator [PDF]
Glow discharge at atmospheric pressure using a dielectric barrier discharge can induce fluid flow and operate as an actuator for flow control. In this paper, we simulate the physics of a two-dimensional asymmetric actuator operating in helium gas using a high-fidelity first-principles-based numerical modeling approach to help improve our understanding ...

Plasma actuator: Influence of dielectric surface temperature [PDF]
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 ...

Gurney flap effect using jet induced by plasma actuator
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

Laminar free shear layer modification using localized periodic heating [PDF]
The application of local periodic heating for controlling a spatially developing shear layer downstream of a finite-thickness splitter plate is examined by numerically solving the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. At the trailing edge of the plate,
