Plasma-based base flow modification on swept-wing boundary layers
Dependence on flow parameters
This work examines the control of cross-flow instabilities (CFIs) and laminar–turbulent transition on a swept wing, through the plasma-based base flow modification (BFM) technique. The effect of experimentally derived plasma body forces on the steady boundary layer base flow is e

This work experimentally investigates plasma actuator (PA) forcing effects on the base flow and developing crossflow (CF) instabilities in a swept wing boundary layer. Spanwise-invariant plasma forcing near the leading edge is configured according to the base flow modification (B
...
This work investigates the response of a transitional boundary layer to spanwise-invariant dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator (PA) forcing on a 45 ° swept wing at a chord Reynolds number of 2.17 × 10 6. Two important parameters of the PA operation are scrutinized, namel

Crossflow instabilities under plasma actuation
Design, commissioning and preliminary results of a new experimental facility
Plasma-based flow control poses a simple and robust technique for transition delay on swept wings. However, a clear understanding of how plasma actuators affect crossflow instabilities is necessary to develop and mature crossflow control based on plasma actuators. In this paper,
