Air Plasma Actuators for Effective Flow Control
An asymmetric dielectric barrier discharge model is presented for real gas eight species air chemistry using a self-consistent multi-body system of plasma, dielectric and neutral gas modeled together to predict the electrodynamic momentum imparted to the working gas. The equations governing the motion of charged and neutral species are solved with Poisson equation on finite elements using a Gal...
متن کاملPlasma Actuators for Bluff Body Flow Control
The aerodynamic plasma actuators have shown to be efficient flow control devices in various applications. In this study the results of flow control experiments utilizing single dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators to control flow separation and unsteady vortex shedding from a circular cylinder in cross-flow are reported. This work is motivated by the need to reduce landing gear noise f...
متن کاملPlasma Virtual Actuators for Flow Control
Dielectric-barrier-discharge (DBD) plasma actuators are all-electric devices with no moving parts. They are made of a simple construction, consisting only of a pair of electrodes sandwiching a dielectric sheet. When AC voltage is applied, air surrounding the upper electrode is ionized, which is attracted towards the charged dielectric surface to form a wall jet. Control of flow over land and ai...
متن کاملCharacterization of Piezoelectric Actuators for Flow Control over a Wing
During the past decade, piezoelectric actuators as the active element in synthetic jets demonstrated that they could significantly enhance the overall lift on an airfoil. However, durability, system weight, size, and power have limited their use outside a laboratory. These problems are not trivial, since piezoelectric actuators are physically brittle and display limited displacement. The object...
متن کاملManufacture of micro-sensors and actuators for flow control
The design, manufacture and testing of micro-sensors and -actuators for aerodynamic drag reduction by flow control is described. Key factors in the designs are discussed, for example, the type and shape of the actuator electrodes affect the critical parameters of frequency response and deflection amplitude. Some aspects of future work are also covered. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
