Implication

Experimental wind tunnel study demonstrates increased lift and shifted stall angle on a NACA0015 airfoil using plasma actuators, suggesting improved aircraft energy efficiency.

Key Points

Evaluate the impact of plasma actuator position along a NACA0015 airfoil to optimize configuration for maximized lift coefficient and aerodynamic performance.
Tested an airfoil in an open-suction wind tunnel across Reynolds numbers of 48,000, 75,000, and 100,000.
Mounted plasma actuators at varied chordwise locations (x/C) spanning from the leading edge to the trailing edge.
Measured aerodynamic forces across configurations to quantify lift enhancement and stall angle shifts.
Plasma actuation increased the airfoil's lift coefficient across tested Reynolds numbers.
Plasma actuator deployment effectively shifted the stall angle of the airfoil to higher angles of attack.
