- Abstract
The objective of this research is to demonstrate the advantage and characterize the thrust performance and the induced flow field generated by the TED plasma actuator with serrated electrode. The induced body force of the serrated TED plasma actuator was investigated on quiescent air, by measuring thrust of the induced jet. A time-resolved PIV was used to acquire a velocity field. From the results of the thrust measurement, it is confirmed that the serrated TED plasma actuator enhances the thrust compared to the straight-edge TED plasma actuator. The serrated TED also had a significantly better efficiency regarding power consumption compared to the straight-edge TED. From the PIV analysis, it is clearly found that the serrated TED plasma actuator generate uniform facing jet from both of the electrode, by the uniform generation of the plasma from the sawtooth vertexes.
