Abstract: Abstract An experimental study on active flow control over an elliptic airfoil is performed using an alternating-current dielectric-barrier-discharge (AC-DBD) plasma actuator combined with the duty-cycled technique. This study aims to eliminate or decrease the nonlinearities… read more here.

Abstract: In this paper, a dynamic stall control scheme for vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) based on pulsed dielectric-barrier-discharge (DBD) plasma actuation is proposed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The trend of the wind turbine power coefficient… read more here.
