The velocity field and pressure field induced by Dielectric-Barrier-Discharge (DBD) plasma actuation (DBD) are accurately measured based on PIV and transient differential pressure sensors. A micro lens is mounted on PIV system to capture the critical region of plasma-induced flow. The transient differential pressure sensors with 0.1 Pa resolutions, respond effectively to the inconspicuous chang...

The objective of this workwas to study the effect of plasma actuators in attenuating low-speed flow-induced cavity tones from a control point of view by employing techniques from classical control. A modification of the existing physics-based linear model produced a new variable structure model in which a plasma actuator was regarded as a linear gain. The parameters of the overall model working...

In the present research, a brief study on the impact of DBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge) plasma actuator on the entropy generation rate in a channel flow is presented. The work has been continued in the certain inlet Reynolds number of about 670. Moreover, the problem is assumed to be a two dimensional DBD plasma based channel flow with the assumption of the incompressible flow. Since, the di...

A numerical study employing discontinuous Galerkin method demonstrating net surface heat reduction for a cylindrical body in Mach 17 hypersonic flow is presented. This application focuses on using sinusoidal dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators to inject momentum near the stagnation point. A 5 species finite rate air chemistry model completes the picture by analyzing the effect of the ...
