  • Abstract
    Plasma actuators are currently under investigations in order to improve the aerodynamic performances of vehicles. Such devices induce airflow of few kilometers per hour called ionic wind. A previous study showed that ionic wind velocity is limited by a particular regime of the discharge where bright and long sparks appear. In this paper, we present some typical images of these spark leaders.
