The two main problems in hypersonic vehicles are wave drag and aerodynamic heating.
This work proposes a novel method for drag reduction by combining spikes with the plasma …

This study deals with the experimental characterization of the induced flow dynamics by a
disk-needle-type plasma actuator driven by a sinusoidal generator and located in a …

For realizing the nice aerodynamic maneuverability of flying wing aircrafts (FWAs), a
longitudinal aerodynamic control technology based on circulation control (CC) using trailing …

We study the dynamics of flow over a flexible cantilever beam and explore the effect of the
plasma actuators located at the upper and lower end edges of the beam to control the flow …

Turbulent boundary layers are dominated by large-scale motions (LSMs) of streamwise
momentum surplus and deficit that contribute significantly to the statistics of the flow. In …

In this study, the dynamics and stability of a viscoelastic functionally graded tapered rotor
partially filled with liquid are investigated. It is assumed that the radius of the rotor varies …

The sliding dielectric barrier discharge (SL-DBD) has attracted attention due to its ability to
suppress flow separation. This paper investigated the effect of SL-DBD on the flow field in …

An experimental investigation of the actuation characteristics of a repetitive nanosecond
pulsed dielectric barrier discharge from bending plasma actuators mounted on a sharp edge …

The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) actuator has the advantages of being lightweight,
having no moving parts, ease of use, and fast response, and has received widespread …
