• Opportunities for dramatic improvement• Local non uniformities along the electrode• Dynamics of the breakdown process
• Deleterious phenomena that might be mitigated• Charge build up• Viscous Drag
Comments on Modeling Challenges and Opportunities for
DBDRichard Miles
Princeton UniversityDeveloping a detailed model of the DBD process is important to aid in establishing opportunities for significant improvement of performance and determining limitations
Plasma actuator based on asymmetric dielectric barrier discharge
• Pioneer work by J.R. Roth• Very successful applications to low-speed flow control: T.
Corke et al.
Pitot tube measurements of force for positive and negative half cycles
(Leonov et al 2011)
Enloe et al (2008) found that 97% of the force came from the negative cycle by using a dielectric barrier discharge to drive a pendulum
Pitot tube measurements of force for positive and negative half cycles along “smooth” and “tipped”
edges of electrode(Leonov et al 2011)

Surface charge build up with sinusoidal self sustained DBD
15 sec run of a DBD actuator operating with a 3 KHz sinusoidal, 10 kV peak-to-peak driving potential
