Abstract
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators are a technology which could replace conventional actuators due to their simple construction, lack of moving parts and fast response. Our study was carried out to investigate experimentally and by numerical simulations a micro scale plasma actuator energized at 1.4 kV. A multi-electrode plasma actuator was used which allowed the electrodes to be energized at different potentials or waveforms, thus changing the direction of the flow. The movement of incense particles was tracked by the high speed camera. The observation with the high speed camera showed at various time intervals the modification of the flow by the microplasma. The numerical simulation of the flow was carried out using Suzen-Huang modela and Navier-Stokes equations.
