Abstract
Induced flow fields by a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator installed on a flat plate in quiescent flow are analyzed numerically. The produced airflow resulting from a simple sine waveform and burst modulations is discussed. The correlation between the operating mode of DBD plasma actuator and the resulting flow: fields generated in temporal and average domains is presented. The generated flow resulting from a simple sine waveform is quasi-steady and fluctuates with base frequency of actuation. On the other hand, the induced flow structure by the burst modulations is unsteady and shows the dependency of actuation modes in terms of instantaneous sense
