A Multiscale Numerical Method to compute Corona Discharges and Application to Plasma Flow Control Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the numerical modelling of corona discharges induced by electrohydrodynamic actuators. A specific numerical method is proposed and discussed to compute the multiscale nature observed in the modelling of corona discharges. The idea consists in a domain decomposition of the computational domain where each subdomain is described with a specific modelling well adapted to the phenomenon expected. Numerical results and comparisons on a wire-to-wire corona are shown and illustrate the ability of the multiscale method.

Numerical Study of Coupled Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a Rectangular Domain at Moderate Reynolds Numbers using the Control Volume Method
In this paper, we have used a control volume method to investigate the problem of a fully coupled fluid flow with heat transfer in a rectangular domain with slip wall boundary conditions. We have used this method to solve the governing equations and thereby to compute the convective and diffusive fluxes at the cell faces of the control volumes considered around the grid points of computational ...
متن کاملApplication of the airflow control by electro-hydrodynamic actuator
The technique used to control the airflow is based on the electro-hydrodynamic actuator which is also called plasma actuator. This actuator ensures the airflow control thanks to the electric wind created by the electrical corona discharge. This ionic wind is developed at the profile surface tangential to the initial free airflow so that it has a significant effect on the boundary layer flow. Th...
متن کاملApplication of M3GM in a Petroleum Reservoir Simulation
Reservoir formations exhibit a wide range of heterogeneity from micro to macro scales. A simulation that involves all of these data is highly time consuming or almost impossible; hence, a new method is needed to meet the computational cost. Moreover, the deformations of the reservoir are important not only to protect the uppermost equipment but also to simulate fluid pattern and petroleum produ...
