Abstract :
Efforts have been performed on utilizing the dielectric barrier discharge actuator to control the flow separation over the top of the flap of a three-element airfoil. Images of the flow fields visualized by a particle image velocimetry system with actuators OFF and ON at the free-stream speeds of 20 and 30 m/s are presented.
