Overview

Experimental investigation shows plasma actuators improve aerodynamic performance in finite wings, indicating design significance.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore how surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators influence aerodynamic efficiency on a finite wing model.
  • Wind tunnel tests at Reynolds numbers of 135,000 and 268,000
  • Two configurations of plasma actuators: typical and mesh geometry
  • Measured aerodynamic performance across angles of attack from 0 to 20 degrees
  • Maximum increase in coefficient of lift for typical geometry actuators was 4.2% and 5.3% at different Reynolds numbers
  • Maximum decrease in coefficient of drag was 12.5% and 11.1% for typical geometry actuators
  • Mesh geometry actuators achieved a 26.2% increase in lift at Re 135,000 and a 15.7% decrease in drag at Re 268,000
