The present paper is a wide review on AC surface dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)
actuators applied to airflow control. Both electrical and mechanical characteristics of surface …

Active control of laminar boundary layers with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma
actuators (PAs) has made considerable progress in the last 15 years. First pioneering …

A comparison study of the efficiency and accuracy of a variety of meshless trial and test
functions is presented in this paper, based on the general concept of the meshless local …

The popularity of plasma actuators as flow control devices has sparked a flurry of diagnostic
efforts towards their characterisation. This review article presents an overview of …

A novel technique is proposed and investigated for the estimation of the body force field
resulting from the operation of a dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator. The technique …

During the last twenty years DBD plasma actuators have been known by their ability for
boundary layer flow control applications. However, their usefulness is not limited to this …

A new procedure of determining the time resolved capacitance of a plasma actuator during
operation is introduced, representing a simple diagnostic tool that provides insight into the …

The streamwise vortices generated by dielectric-barrier-discharge plasma actuators in the
laminar boundary layer were investigated using particle image velocimetry to understand …

Ice accretion is a common issue on aircraft flying in cold climate conditions. The ice
accumulation on aircraft surfaces disturbs the adjacent airflow field, increases the drag, and …

In the present work artificially excited Tollmien–Schlichting waves were cancelled using
plasma actuators operated both in continuous and pulsed modes. To achieve this a vibrating …
