Kurelek, J.W. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author), Yarusevych, S. (author)This investigation explores the utility of Alternating Current, Dielectric Barrier Discharge (AC-DBD) plasma actuators for producing three-dimensional disturbances of a desired spanwise wavelength via superposition. The technique utilizes two pairs of exposed and covered electrodes on a single dielectric layer arranged in streamwise...journal article 2023

Kurelek, J.W. (author), Yarusevych, S. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)Vortex merging in a laminar separation bubble (LSB) is studied experimentally. The bubble is formed on the suction side of a NACA 0018 airfoil at an angle of attack of 4° and a Reynolds number of 125 000. The merging process in the bubble is manipulated through acoustic forcing applied as a tone at either the fundamental vortex shedding...journal article 2019

Kurelek, J.W. (author), Yarusevych, S. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)This work examines flow development in a laminar separation bubble (LSB) undergoing natural transition and transition controlled with two-dimensional and spanwise modulated disturbances. The investigation is carried out in a series of wind tunnel tests, with the separation bubble formed over a flat plate subjected to an adverse pressure...conference paper 2019

Kurelek, J.W. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author), Yarusevych, S. (author)Transition and flow development in a separation bubble formed on an airfoil are studied experimentally. The effects of tonal and broadband acoustic excitation are considered since such acoustic emissions commonly result from airfoil self-noise and can influence flow development via a feedback loop. This interdependence is decoupled, and the...journal article 2018

Michelis, Theodorus (author), Yarusevych, S. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)This work investigates the three-dimensional, spatio-Temporal flow development in the aft portion of a laminar separation bubble. The bubble is forming on a flat plate geometry, subjected to an adverse pressure gradient, featuring maximum reverse flow of approximately 2Â % of the local free-stream velocity. Time-resolved velocity measurements...journal article 2018

Michelis, Theodorus (author), Yarusevych, S. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)The spatial and temporal response characteristics of a laminar separation bubble to impulsive forcing are investigated by means of time-resolved particle image velocimetry and linear stability theory. A two-dimensional impulsive disturbance is introduced with an alternating current dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator, exciting...journal article 2017

Yarusevych, S. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)This work examines the effect of local active flow control on stability and transition in a laminar separation bubble. Experiments are performed in a wind tunnel facility on a NACA 0012 airfoil at a chord Reynolds number of 130 000 and an angle of attack of 2 degrees. Controlled disturbances are introduced upstream of a laminar separation...journal article 2017

Michelis, Theodorus (author), Kotsonis, M. (author), Yarusevych, S. (author)The present study considers the development of a Laminar Separation Bubble on the suction side of a NACA0018 airfoil under natural and forced conditions. Deterministic forcing is applied by means of a two-dimensional plasma actuator installed on the airfoil surface. The spatiotemporal characteristics of the bubble are measured using time...conference paper 2017
