Numerical Modelling of Corona Discharges and Their Interaction with Aerodynamics

چکیده
In the frame of the internal project PUMA (Plasma Used to Master Aerodynamic), ONERA is conducting fundamental studies in order to determine the limits within which air discharge plasmas are able to interact with aerodynamical phenomena. This paper focuses on the physical and numerical modeling of corona discharges and their interaction with aerodynamics. Using a simple plasma kinetic scheme, it is shown that the force exerted by a wire-to-wire corona discharge is sufficient to explain the effect on subsonic airflow. This force is of the same order as the one obtained thanks to dielectric barrier discharges (DBD).

متن کاملA two scale model of air corona discharges
This paper deals with the modelling of plasma discharges induced by electrohydrodynamic actuators. We propose a multi-model method based on fluid conservation equations that allows an increase of the maximum time step imposed by usual explicit schemes. The idea consists in replacing the numerical integration of the plasma equations at the vicinity of the electrodes – where the time step is part...

متن کاملSurface corona-bar discharges for production of pre-ionizing UV light for pulsed high-pressure plasmas
Multi-atmospheric pressure, pulsed electric discharge excited lasers require pre-ionization to produce spatially uniform glows. Many such systems use corona bars to produce ultraviolet (UV) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light as photo-ionization sources for this purpose. Corona bars are transient surface discharges, typically in a cylindrical geometry, that sustain high electron temperatures and...
