Abstract
Images showing the flow pattern and velocity field in a positive polarity needle-to-plate nonthermal plasma reactor are reported. The images were obtained using the particle image velocimetry. They showed a strong secondary flow, caused by the electrohydrodynamic forces, which transport the working gas also in the upstream main-flow direction. This may influence operation of the nonthermal plasma reactors and affect their capability of gaseous pollutant remediation.
