Cross-Flow Instability Control through Base-Flow Modification using AC-DBD Plasma Actuators: An Experimental Investigation

Following recent proof of swept wing laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition delay through base-flow modification using AC-DBD plasma actuators, an experimental investigation is performed to study the responsible physical mechanism. An experiment is conducted on a 45° swept wing in the anechoic wind tunnel at the Delft University of...
