Active flow control using plasma actuators offers a novel and increasingly influential method for manipulating aerodynamic flows. By utilising the dielectric barrier discharge mechanism, these devices ...

Plasma technology based on Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) has been widely demonstrated to be a novel active flow control method. In order to make the plasma flow control technology more practical, ...

General Electric is investigating a range of fluidic techniques for active flow and combustion control, ranging from synthetic jets to cold plasma. The ability to effect large flow changes with small ...

DARPA plans to launch a program to fly an X-plane designed around active flow control with the award of contracts to conduct an extended conceptual design phase. Three contracts could be awarded ...
