FLOW CONTROL USING DBD PLASMA ON BACKWARD-FACING STEP

J. Song
Yonsei Univ., Korea

Keywords: dielectric barrier discharge plasma (dbd plasma), backward-facing step, reattachment point

In this study, experimental approach about the effect of plasma on flow characteristics in backward-facing step is conducted. DBD plasma is using for flow control. Plasma accelerate the main flows and reattachment points are receded. The various plasma patch shapes and generation sections for flow control will be discussed.
