Particle image velocimetry (PIV) technology was applied to obtain the flow field induced by high frequency and high voltage SDBD plasma aerodynamic actuation at pressures of 2200
4800
7300
14600Pa. The body force was calculated though N-S equation based on the velocity field
and the effects of air pressure and voltage on the plasma body force were analysed. Experiments showed that: at the same air pressure
the body force increased at a higher voltage
while at the same voltage
the body force decreased at a higher air pressure. The body force direction lines are consistent at the body force distribution region
and comparatively large body force area is located at the upstream region of the body force direction lines and comparatively fast velocity area is located at the downstream region of the body force direction lines.
