The quest for reductions in fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions in transport has been a
powerful driving force for scientific research into methods that might underpin drag-reducing …

Flow control using DBD (dielectric-barrier-discharge) plasma actuators is a relatively new,
but rapidly expanding area of research. There are a number of review papers available on …

Active flow control is a topic in full expansion due to associated industrial applications of
huge importance, particularly for aeronautics. Among all flow control methods, such as the …

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 …

The flow over a circular cylinder controlled by a two-dimensional synthetic jet positioned at
the mean rear stagnation point has been experimentally investigated in a water channel at …

This paper reviews turbulent boundary-layer control strategies for skin-friction reduction of
aerodynamic bodies. The focus is placed on the drag-reduction mechanisms by two flow …

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 …

The aviation sector is experiencing an increasing pressure to reduce emissions via long-
term strategies for a ceaselessly growing number of flight passengers. Aircraft currently in …

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators have been used to control the flow
around a circular cylinder at Re= 15 000⁠, where the near-wake structure was studied using …

DBD (dielectric barrier discharge) plasma actuators have in recent years become
increasingly attractive in studies of flow control due to their light structures and easy …
