Computational and experimental analysis of flow structures induced by a plasma actuator with burst modulations in quiescent air

Characteristics of flow fields produced by a dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator in quiescent air are numerically investigated. A time-dependent localized body-force distribution is utilized to mimic the effect of the plasma actuator with modulated bursts. The computed time-averaged and ins...
