Leading edge separation control with DBD plasma actuators


Abstract eng:
An experimental study into a use of a vectored wall-normal jet from dielectric-barrier-discharge (DBD) plasma actuator was carried out to control leading-edge flow separation over a NACA 0012 aerofoil at the chord Reynolds number of 20,000. Here the plasma jet with a momentum coefficient of CɊ = 0.25% was issued against the freestream along the aerofoil chord line, generating vortices which help reattach the separated flow. PIV results also suggest that the plasma jet has a virtual shaping effect in flow separation control.
