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 …

FLOW over solid bodies is retarded near the surface, due to viscous effects that give rise to a
boundary layer. Often, the nearwall fluid must also negotiate an adverse pressure gradient …

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

In this paper, we report on results from a computational investigation of nanosecond pulsed
surface discharges of positive and negative polarity using a 2D fluid and fluid-Monte Carlo …

A comparison study of a novel method of utilizing thermal effects induced by Dielectric-
Barrier-Discharge (DBD) plasma actuation (ie, DBD plasma-based method) and a …

Flow control over a NACA 0012 airfoil is carried out using a dielectric barrier discharge
(DBD) plasma actuator at the Reynolds number of 20 000. Here, the plasma actuator is …

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) based surface plasma actuators have been well studied
as flow manipulation devices. However, there is a dearth of research on their application for …

Particle image velocimetry measurements in close proximity to dielectric-barrier discharge
plasma actuators are conducted to quantify the momentum transfer of the plasma to the …

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 …

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