Numerical investigation of the effects of plasma actuator on separated laminar flows past an incident plate under ground effect

Active flow control optimisation on SD7003 airfoil at pre and post-stall angles of attack using synthetic jets

“…1) Moving body actuators, whose purpose consists in inducing local fluid motion without the need of adding mass [2]. 2) Plasma actuators, which generate jets of ionized fluid with very fast temporal response [3,4]. The reader can also check other references on Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) also called plasma actuator devices [5,6], where the authors proposed the combination of DBD plasma actuator experiments with numerical optimisation.…”

Aerodynamic Efficiency Improvement on a NACA-8412 Airfoil via Active Flow Control Implementation

“…(1) Moving body actuators, they do not add or substract mass and induce local fluid motion [10]. (2) Plasma actuators, they generate high frequency ionized jets of fluid [11][12][13][14]. (3) Fluidic actuators (FA), create pulsating flow and in some configurations no moving parts are required.…”

Large Eddy Simulation of optimal Synthetic Jet Actuation on a SD7003 airfoil in post-stall conditions

“…Moving body actuators act on the geometry of the body to inject momentum into the flow [4]. Plasma actuators generate fast temporal response jets of ionised fluid by applying large electric potential differences [5][6][7][8][9]. Fluidic actuators (FA), which are by far the most common, inject/suck fluid to/from the boundary layer.…”
