Title:
SURFACE PLASMA ACTUATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/024590
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the case of an object produced from an insulating material, a conductive wire (3) and a thin film (5) with conductivity are mounted to the surface thereof so as to face each other, and pulse voltage is applied between the conductive wire and the thin film. In the case of an object produced from a conductive material, an insulation coated conductor (3) produced from a conductive wire subjected to insulation coating is mounted to the surface thereof, and pulse voltage is applied between the object and the conductive wire. Consequently, along the circumference of the conductive wire, surface plasma is generated, and an induced air current is generated. Because of a wire-type plasma actuator, the plasma actuator can be easily installed at an optimum position to an object such as a three-dimensional shaped airfoil for wind power generation, an aircraft, a gas turbine, or the like or the outer wall of an automobile such as a truck while the influence on a mounting area and a surrounding fluid flow is kept to a minimum.
