Abstract
In this study, a two-dimensional fluid model is employed to simulate the streamer, pressure wave, and vortex in surface dielectric barrier discharge driven by nanosecond pulse voltage (ns-SDBD). It comprises a numerical model with two interconnected modules: discharge dynamics and gas flow dynamics. These modules are coupled through the physical variables including ‘EHD force’, ‘thermal source’, ‘velocity field’, ‘gas temperature’, and ‘gas pressure’. Our research primarily focuses on the underlying physical mechanisms of pressure waves and vortices for plasma-based flow control. The generation of pressure waves is attributed to the rapid gas heating by pulsed discharge, whereas the formation and development of the vortex are related to the ionic wind (EHD effect) provided by the plasma. To thoroughly understand and optimize flow control performance, an investigation into the effects of various discharge parameters, such as voltage amplitude and polarity, is conducted. Additionally, several SDBD modules are arranged in series, each featuring a dual three-electrode configuration. Subsequently, the dynamic behaviors of multiple streamers, pressure waves, and vortices, along with their interactions, are explored.
