等离子体气动激励器作为等离子体流动控制的执行元件,其性能优劣对流动控制效果有重要影响。诱导气流速度是表征等离子体流动控制能力、衡量等离子体气动激励器性能的一个重要指标。研究了等离子体气动激励器的电极宽度、厚度、电极组内间距、绝缘材料介电常数和厚度等布局参数对诱导气流速度的影响。实验结果表明:选择介电常数合适、尽可能薄的绝缘材料,宽度较大、尽可能薄的条状电极,电极组内间距为1mm左右的等离子体气动激励器,可提高等离子体气动激励诱导的气流速度。
Plasma aerodynamic actuator exerts significant impact on plasma flow control. Induced gas flow velocity is an important parameter for indicating plasma flow control capability and scaling performance of the plasma aerodynamic actuator. This paper experimentally investigates the effects of electrode's width and thickness, gap in electrode couple, dielectric constant and thickness of dielectric material on the induced gas flow velocity. The results show that a plasma aerodynamic actuator having thinner dielectric material with appropriate dielectric constant, wider and thinner electrode, apprnpriate gap in electrode couple can accelerate the induced gas flow velocity.
