A Two-Dimensional Plasma Actuator Analysis Code
Abstract
A two-dimensional plasma actuator analysis code has been developed. A time-accurate Navier-Stokes CFD code was coupled with a time-dependent, phenomenological model of an alternating current, single dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator. The accuracy of the flow solver was demonstrated using a standard CFD validation case. The plasma actuator model's ability to affect fluid motion was tested by inducing motion in quiescent air over a flat plate using only the plasma actuator model. The resulting fluid motion was similar to the induced motion observed in plasma actuator experiments.
