Airfoil flow separation control with plasma synthetic jets at moderate Reynolds number

Abstract: An array of 26 plasma synthetic jet actuators (PSJA) is flush-mounted on a NACA-0015 airfoil model to control the leading-edge flow separation at moderate Reynolds number (Re_c= 1.7 × 10 ⁵). The stall angle of this airfoil is postponed from 15. 5 ^∘ to approximately 22 ^∘, and the peak lift...
