“…It is clearly seen that, at a high actuator's pulse repetition rate, practically no ice accretion on the surface occurs. In [244,245], the results of [242,243] were confirmed using the longitudinal arrangement of the electrodes of a nanosecond actuator, similar to that used in [212] to control the boundary layer separation in transonic regimes (Fig. 74).…”

“…74). The results obtained in [242][243][244][245] show, first of all, a significant stability of the operation of ns-SDBD plasma actuators in the presence of a large amount of water and ice and snow particles in the incoming flow, as well as the prospects for the development of new plasma-assisted strategies of de-icing, specially designed to reduce the icing of aircraft in flight conditions.…”

Abstract— The paper presents a review of modern works on gasdynamic flow control using a highly nonequilibrium pulsed plasma. The main attention is paid to the effects based on ultrafast (on the nanosecond time scale for atmospheric pressure) local gas heating, since, at present, the main successes in controlling high-speed flows by means of gas discharges are associated with this thermal mechanism. Attention is paid to the physical mechanisms responsible for the interaction of the discharge with gas flows. The first part of the review outlines the most popular approaches for pulsed energy deposition in plasma aerodynamics: nanosecond surface barrier discharges, pulsed spark discharges, and femto- and nanosecond optical discharges. The mechanisms of ultrafast heating of air at high electric fields realized in these discharges, as well as during the decay of the discharge plasma, are analyzed separately. The second part of the review gives numerous examples of plasma-assisted control of gasdynamic flows. It considers control of the configuration of shock waves in front of a supersonic object, control of its trajectory, control of quasi-stationary separated flows and layers, control of a laminar–turbulent transition, and control of static and dynamic separation of the boundary layer at high angles of attack, as well as issues of the operation of plasma actuators in different weather conditions and the use of plasma for the de-icing of a flying object.

“…Triboelectric plasma simulation was performed using 2D PASSKEy code (PArallel Streamer Solver with KinEtics), which was used in modelling nanosecond surface discharges and proved by discharge morphology, propagation velocity, voltage-current curves of triboelectric plasma, and a point-to-plane configuration generated from the experiments [37][38][39][40]. Moreover, 0D model global plasma chemistry code ZDPlasKin was also utilized in a house parameter reconstruction module [41].…”

Oxidation reactions play a critical role in processes involving energy utilization, chemical conversion, and pollutant elimination. However, due to its spin-forbidden nature, the reaction of molecular dioxygen (O2) with a substrate is difficult under mild conditions. Herein, we describe a system that activates O2 via the direct modulation of its spin state by mechanical energy-induced triboelectric corona plasma, enabling the CO oxidation reaction under normal temperature and pressure. Under optimized reaction conditions, the activity was 7.2 μmol h−1, and the energy consumption per mole CO was 4.2 MJ. The results of kinetic isotope effect, colorimetry, and density functional theory calculation studies demonstrated that electrons generated in the triboelectric plasma were directly injected into the antibonding orbital of O2 to form highly reactive negative ions O2−, which effectively promoted the rate-limiting step of O2 dissociation. The barrier of the reaction of O2− ions and CO molecular was 3.4 eV lower than that of O2 and CO molecular. This work provides an effective strategy for using renewable and green mechanical energy to realize spin-forbidden reactions of small molecules.

Surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) actuators driven by the Pulsed-DC voltages are analyzed. The Pulsed-DC SDBD studied in this work is equivalent to a classical SDBD driven by a tailored Fast-Rise-Slow-Decay (FRSD) voltage waveform. The plasma channel formation and charge production process in the voltage rising stage are studied at different slopes using a classical 2D fluid model, the thrust generated in the voltage decaying stage is studied based on an analytical approach taking 2D model results as the input. A thrust pulse is generated in the trailing edge of the voltage waveform and reaches maximum when the voltage decreases by approximately the value of cathode voltage fall (≈600 V). The time duration of the rising and trailing edge, the decay rate and the amplitude of applied voltage are the main factors affecting the performance of the actuator. Analytical expressions are formulated for the value and time moment of peak thrust, the upper limit of thrust is also estimated. Higher voltage rising rate leads to higher charge density in the voltage rising stage thus higher thrust. Shorter voltage trailing edge, in general, results in higher value and earlier appearance of the peak thrust. The detailed profile of the trailing edge also affects the performance. Results in this work allow us to flexibly design the FRSD waveforms for an SDBD actuator according to the requirements of active flow control in different application conditions.
