Fabrication of a multi-stage plasma synthetic jet actuator using printed electronics

Simulation of a Helium Atmospheric Plasma Jet Using Fluid Equations

In this study, a cold atmospheric He plasma jet is investigated. The jet is of dielectric barrier discharge type, consisting of a dielectric tube with two metal ring electrodes. The continuity, momentum and energy conservation equations as well as the Poisson equation for obtaining the potential and the electric field, accompanied with the ideal gas laws, are used for the simulation. The result...

Influence of the energy dissipation rate in the discharge of a plasma synthetic jet actuator

A promising actuator for high-speed flow control, referred to as a Plasma Synthetic Jet (P.S.J), is being studied by the DMAE department of the ONERA, and the Laplace laboratory of the CNRS, in France. This actuator was inspired by the “Sparkjet” device developed by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The PSJ, which produces a synthetic jet with high exhaust velocities, no ...

On Plasma Synthetic Jet Actuators

The term plasma actuator refers to an asymmetric arrangement of two electrodes (typically rectangular strips) separated by dielectric material that can be used as active flow control devices. A plasma actuator design consisting of an annular electrode array, the plasma synthetic jet actuator (PSJA), is experimentally investigated in this paper. This particular geometry creates a zero-net mass f...

Design of synthetic jet actuator based on FSMA composite

An improved version of the membrane actuator has been designed and constructed based on our previous diaphragm actuator. It consists of ferromagnetic shape memory alloy composite (FSMA) diaphragm and an electromagnet system. The actuation mechanism of the membrane actuator is the hybrid mechanism that we proposed previously. The high momentum airflow will be produced by the oscillation of the c...
