Electrical and Flow Characteristics of a Double-Side Sliding Pulsed Discharge Plasma Actuator

What is it about?

Double-side sliding pulsed discharge (DSPD) plasma actuator can weaken the interaction between the vortices and restrain the appearance of the asymmetric phenomenon. The discharge morphologies and electrical properties under different DC conditions are studied, and the unsteady vortex structures induced by DSPD plasma actuators under a static atmosphere are revealed through a high-speed schlieren system and PIV measurements. The results of wind tunnel experiments show that extended DBD actuation has a more powerful flow control effect than typical DBD actuation does.
