The main focus of the review is on dynamics and kinetics of near-surface discharge
plasmas, such as surface dielectric barrier discharges sustained by AC and repetitively …

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 …

A new procedure for determining the characteristic capacitance of DBD plasma actuators
during operation is introduced, based on time-resolved discharge cyclograms. The actuator …

Flow control using surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuators driven by a
sinusoidal alternating-current power supply has gained significant attention from the …

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) force is used for active control of fluid motion and for the
generation of propulsive thrust by inducing ionic wind with no moving parts. We propose a …

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 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in atmospheric pressure air was excited by a high-
voltage pulse power supply. Capacitors with different capacitance were connected in the …

A charge-voltage Lissajous figure is a standard method for the electrical diagnostics of DBD
discharges. Based on a repetitive nanosecond-pulse generator, some experiments on …

Surface dielectric barrier discharges (SDBDs) are a type of asymmetric dielectric barrier
discharge (DBD) that can be used to generate ions and produce aerodynamic forces in air …
