Silicon Carbide Semiconductor Array for Enhanced Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge Driven Flow Control

Abstract

The DURIP equipment is associated with a separately funded ARO research effort on new nanosecond pulse driven surface plasma devices for enhanced control authority in high speed air, and on the use of these surface mounted plasma devices for the suppression of dynamic stall on helicopter blades. The goal is to establish a new capability that provides robust helicopter blade control over a wide range of frequencies with systems that are low weight and flush mounted, so very little flow perturbation occurs when they are not in operation. The DURIP equipment funds are supporting the fabrication of a new semiconducting surface that is intended to provide a significant increase in dielectric barrier discharge driven momentum transfer to the air passing over the helicopter blade.
