The high energy density of hydrocarbon fuels creates a great opportunity to develop
combustion based micro-power generation systems to meet increasing demands for …

The principal mechanisms by which DBD plasma actuators influence flow characteristics,
and are thus able to control that flow, depend strongly on their modes of actuation. Here two …

ACHIEVING sustained flight of micro air vehicles (MAVs) brings significant challenges due to
their small dimensions and lowflight speeds [1]. For so-called mini air vehicles, which …

Flow control technologies have been used in the past century to control fluid flows. This text
presents the current state of the art in emerging modern flow control technologies and …

This paper investigates the effects of duty cycle on improvement of pressure distribution
above a NLF0414 airfoil using the plasma actuators. Three dielectric barrier discharges as …

A new flow control approach called split blade is applied on the S809 airfoil in the present
study. S809 airfoil was investigated experimentally and numerically with different operating …

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effects of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)
plasma actuator (PA) qualitatively on aerodynamic characteristics of a 3 D-printed NACA …
