Numerical Simulations of NS-DBD Plasma Actuators For Flow Control

Nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge (NS-DBD) plasma actuators is relatively<br/>new means of flow control. It has several advantages compared to more conventional<br/>means of flow control, such as small size, low weight, fast response time<br/>and controllability. It has been demonstrated to be able to promote transition of<br/>boundary...

Dielectric barrier Discharge Plasma Actuator Characterization and Application

An experimental investigation about nanosecond Dielectric Barrier Discharge (ns-DBD) plasma actuator is presented in this thesis. This work aimed to answer fundamental questions on the actuation mechanism of this device. In order to do so, parametric studies in a quiescent air as well as laminar bounded of free shear layers were performed....
