Abstract

An empirical thrust model of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator with good prediction performance is proposed on the basis of many of experimental data. The model considers six main parameters affecting the actuator thrust, including voltage peak value, frequency, the exposed electrode thickness, encapsulated electrode width and relative permittivity and thickness of dielectric. The estimated thrust value as a body force source term is inserted into the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation which is solved by the CFD software FLUENT. The body-force region is specified by an empirical body-force distribution function based on velocity information. The effectiveness of the empirical model and body-force distribution is verified by different experimental cases. Thus, the proposed model can predict the thrust and velocity field generated by the DBD plasma actuator.
