This paper deals with the electrohydrodynamic airflow control realized by the kinetic energy provided by an electrical discharge created at the surface of a dielectric material. We will present the results of the airflow control above an NACA0015 profile, this application is ensured by the action of the ionic wind generated by an applied dc corona discharge. The actuation consists in creating a nonthermal plasma sheet at the NACA0015 suction side. Plasma is created between two electrodes flush-mounted on the surface of the airfoil and excited with a dc power supply. To highlight the effect of plasma actuator on the free airflow, we will present streamlines fields with plasma actuator ON and OFF. We will show that the plasma sheet can modify the size of the mean recirculation region and that it changes the flow topology. In addition, the observed velocity profiles above the NACA0015 highlight the reduction of the boundary layer thickness under the effect of the corona electrical discharge. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
