Several studies have shown that a surface non-thermal plasma may be used as an
electrofluidodynamic actuator for airflow control. For few years, we has been working on this
subject, especially in the case of DC corona discharges and AC barrier discharges
established at the wall of profiles. The present paper deals with a new type of surface
plasma using a sliding discharge. This discharge, excited here by a negative AC voltage
with a positive DC component, is created in a three-electrode geometry: one DC positive …
