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.
