Spatiotemporal structure of a millimetric annular dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator

Abstract: The spatiotemporal structure of a millimetric annular dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator is investigated using a photomultiplier tube, a high-sensitivity camera, particle image velocimetry, and electrohydrodynamics simulations. Plasma actuators have typically demonstrated their utility in flow separation control, but on a millimetric scale they have also shown to be promising in the control of crossflow instabilities in crossflow-dominated laminar-turbulent boundary-layer transition. In view of the s… Show more

“…The flow around a ring-type actuator was seen accelerated towards the lower electrode and spread out in the radial directions, confirming the results by Humble et al (2013). It showed necklace vortices as well as secondary vortices over the ring-type plasma actuator, but without additional vorticity region on top.…”

“…Ring-type plasma actuators of 3-mm aperture diameter were investigated by Humble et al (2013) for controlling cross-flow dominated boundary layer. The actuators consisted of upper electrodes made of etched gold-plated copper, which were attached to 0.5-mm-thick polyimide dielectric sheets.…”

“…When the high-voltage pulses are shorten to tens or hundreds of nanoseconds, a micro perturbation wave will be generated near the high-voltage electrode due to fast gas heating by the quenching of electronically excited states [7][8][9][10][11]. The features of ionic wind generation and fast gas heating are essential in separation flow control [12][13][14], boundary-layer transition control [15,16] and skin-friction reduction in boundary/mixing layer [17][18][19][20] et al…”

“…Although this configuration was studied experimentally rather well, the down scaling of the system dimensions was shown to be a complex one. For example, it was shown 10 that when the electrode diameter is reduced down to several millimeters, the flow generated on the actuator axis changes its sign and it begins to work as a suction device rather than a blowing one.…”
