Abstract: The present research proposed a method to reduce the Gurney-flap drag penalty with a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator, which was mounted in front of the Gurney flap to generate a countercurrent wall jet. ...

Abstract: Wind tunnel experiments were conducted to explore the control effect of a synthetic jet actuator array placed at the leading edge of a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0015 airfoil at two Reynolds numbers ...
