“…With these devices the goal is usually to use the electric wind produced by the plasma in order to modify the properties of the boundary layer close to the wall. In general, the control strategy intends (1) to accelerate the fluid close to the wall, in order to avoid fluid separation (this is the case when the electric wind and the free air stream are in the same direction), (2) to induce the separation with the help of a counter-flow electric wind or (3) to induce perturbations inside the boundary layer by using a pulsed discharge, in the streamwise or spanwise direction, to modify the turbulence level or Tolmien Schlichting waves.…”

“…As a consequence of the elastic collisions between the migrating charged particles and the neutral species of the gas, the neutrals increase their momentum giving rise to an 'electric wind' in the close vicinity of the wall. When the number of charged species is high, other mechanisms may add to this electromechanical coupling like alterations of the physical properties of the gas (density, viscosity, etc) in the regions of ionization that are very close to the flow boundaries (Scherbakov et al 2000). In EHD devices the magnetic forces are negligible when compared with the electric ones because the actuation is produced with very low current intensities, and they are attractive from a technological point of view because of their simplicity (they have no moving parts) and their very short response time (delays in the establishment of a discharge are theoretically of the order of nanoseconds for appropriate values of the driving voltage).…”
