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 …

Hypersonic boundary layer transition is a hot yet challenging problem restricting the
development and breakthrough of hypersonic aerodynamics. In recent years, despite great …

A detailed physical model for asymmetric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in air at low
voltages (1.5–2 kV) is developed. Modeling of DBD with an applied sinusoidal voltage is …

RICH experience has been accumulated in using electrical discharges to control gas flows,
and a wealth of data have been received in model experiments and by way of numerical …

A summary of recent research progress in hypersonic plasma actuators for flow control is
attempted. It is found that the most effective plasma actuator is derived from an …

The current study investigates the use of pulsed plasma jets (spark jets) to reduce the
separation induced by shock wave-boundary layer interaction generated by a 20^ ∘ 20∘ …

Actuators are one of the key points for the development of active flow control technology.
Efficient methods of high speed flow control can provide enhanced propulsive efficiency and …

Plasma morphology and airflow induced by a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) actuator,
whose exposed electrode geometry is designed with a serrated configuration, are …

Nearly all the required scientific disciplines for computational hypersonic flow simulation
have been developed on the framework of gas kinetic theory. However when high …

Gas density perturbations generated by an alternating-current dielectric-barrier-discharge
plasma actuator (ac-DBDPA) are quantitatively visualised using the background-oriented …
