1 Time-Dependent Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Actuator Modeling Ben Mertz, Thomas Corke Center for Flow Physics and Control University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN

2 Mertz and Corke: 47 th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, January 2009, Orlando, FL Objective  Further develop simulations for Single-Dielectric Barrier Discharge (SDBD) Plasma Actuators for use in Computer Flow Simulations  Extend Orlov (Ph.D., 2006) approach for actuator body force to include arbitrary (curved) shapes  Develop single and dual potential models  Compare various dynamic models Leading-edge Profiles Turbine Blade Shapes

3 Mertz and Corke: 47 th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, January 2009, Orlando, FL Empirical vs. First Principle Models  First Principle Models  Accurately describes plasma discharge processes  Computationally intensive Limited to single streamer Simplified chemistry  Gibalov and Pietsch (2008), Golubovskii et al. (2002), Kozlov et al. (2001), Madani et al. (2003), and others  Empirical Models  Computationally efficient  Physics not directly modelled  Shyy et al. (2002), Singh and Roy (2008)‏ Do not model spatial-temporal dynamics accurately

4 Mertz and Corke: 47 th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, January 2009, Orlando, FL Models Considered  Orlov (2006) – Space-time lumped circuit element model  Voltage BC (One Phi w/ Voltage BC)‏  Negative of Voltage BC (One Phi w/ Negative Voltage BC)‏  Current used to calculate BC  Based on total plasma height (One Phi w/ Current-H BC)‏  Based on fraction of plasma height (One Phi w/ Current-h BC)‏  Suzen et al. (2005) – Two-potential model  Current used to calculate BC for charge density (Lemire and Vo, 2008)‏  Two Phi w/ Current-H BC

5 Mertz and Corke: 47 th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, January 2009, Orlando, FL Background: Plasma Actuators exposed electrode dielectric AC voltage source covered electrode substrate  High voltage AC causes air to ionize (plasma).  Ionized air in presence of electric field results in body force that acts on neutral air.  Body force is mechanism of flow control. Ref: Prog. in Aero. Sci., 43, 2007 The SDBD is stable at atmospheric pressure because it is self-limiting due to charge accumulation on the dielectric surface.
