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 …

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 …

Measurements of current and voltage are the basic diagnostics for electrical discharges.
However, in the case of dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs), the measured current and …

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 …

A novel single dielectric pellet DBD that is designed to facilitate studying the interaction
between plasmas and catalysts is presented. The influence of material dielectric constant on …

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 …

The flow field around an asymmetric dielectric-barrier-discharge (DBD) plasma actuator in
quiescent air is studied using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and smoke-flow visualization …

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 …
