Abstract
- The present study indicates the impact of different arrangements of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators on temperature field in a channel flow. The modified lumped circuit element electro-static model was used to calculate induced Lorentz body force and plasma dissipation of the actuators. Different distributions of temperature in the modeled channel flow for each arrangement of actuators (one, two, and three attached actuators) are discussed. According to the numerical simulation, DBD plasma actuators are beneficial devices for increasing temperature in the channel flow, especially near the location of the actuators that can be considered for related applications. The actuators are modeled under an incompressible flow regime with low Reynolds number of 335, and the configurations of the actuators are set to be 3 KV for the peak voltage amplitude, 10,000 Hz for the voltage frequency, and Kapton as the dielectric.
