Characterization of DBD Plasma Actuators Performance Without External Flow – Part I: Thrust-Voltage Quadratic Relationship in Logarithmic Space for Sinusoidal Excitation

Abstract: Results of characterization of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuators without external flow are presented. The results include aerodynamic and electric performance of the actuators without external flow for different geometrical parameters, dielectric materials and applied voltage level and wave form.
