Leading-edge flow separation control over an airfoil using a symmetrical dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator

In order to promote an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of leading-edge flow separation control over an airfoil using a symmetrical Dielectric Barrier Discharge(DBD) plasma actuator excited by a steady-mode excitation, an experimental investigation of an SC(2)-0714 supercritical airfoil with a symmetrical DBD plasma actuator was performed in a closed chamber and a low-speed wind tunnel. The plasma actuator was mounted at the leading edge of the airfoil.Time-resolved Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) results of the near-wall region in quiescent air suggested that the symmetrical DBD plasma actuator could induce some coherent structures in the separated shear layer, and these structures were linked to a dominant frequency of f0= 39 Hz when the peak-to-peak voltage of the plasma actuator was 9.8 kV. In addition, an analysis of flow structures without and with plasma actuation around the upper side of the airfoil at an angle of attack of18° for a wind speed of 3 m/s(Reynolds number Re = 20000) indicated that the dynamic process of leading-edge flow separation control over an airfoil could be divided into three stages. Initially, this plasma actuator could reinforce the shedding vortices in the separated shear layer. Then, these vortical structures could deflect the separated flow towards the wall by promoting the mixing between the outside flow with a high kinetic energy and the flow near the surface. After that, the plasma actuator induced a series of rolling vortices in the vicinity of the suction side of the airfoil, and these vortical structures could transfer momentum from the leading edge of the airfoil to the separated region, resulting in a reattachment of the separated flow around the airfoil.     

基于数值模拟的NSDBD等离子体激励器防冰特性

飞行器表面在一定气象条件下会产生积冰,积冰会使飞行器气动性能下降,是危害飞行安全的重要因素之一。常见的气热及电热防冰系统已经广泛运用于现有飞行器上。近些年,在纳秒脉冲阻挡介质放电（NSDBD）等离子体激励器的相关研究中发现NSDBD等离子体激励器可对周围流场进行快速加热,考虑到这种热效应可能作为飞机防冰的一种新方式。本文用数值方法对NSDBD等离子体激励器防冰特性开展了研究。首先,建立了基于Messinger模型的积冰模型,对典型积冰条件进行了验证计算;其次,耦合唯象学等离子体模型与非定常雷诺平均Navier-Stokes方程,计算等离子体对空气流场的影响;最后,将NSDBD等离子体激励器布置在NACA0012翼型前缘防冰区,结合积冰模型与唯象学等离子模型,对其防冰特性进行了研究。计算结果表明等离子体加热的热气流会覆盖在翼型表面防冰区。在相同的霜冰条件下,开启等离子体激励器时机翼前缘没有出现积冰,说明等离体子激励器应用于机翼防冰是有效的。针对不同的激励器参数对防冰特性的影响规律进行了研究,总体上防冰效果与峰值电压、激励器频率有关,从防冰效果和能耗方面考量,在给定计算条件下,存在最优电压值和最优激励器频率值。激励器分布方式对防冰特性的影响与其具体流场有关,需要具体分析。

Numerical research on airfoil transition delay by alternative current dielectric barrier discharge actuation

A Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuator can create a body force which locally accelerates the base flow leading to an attenuation of broadband disturbance to delay the transition. In this study, numerical simulation on an NLF0416 airfoil is conducted to investigate transition delay and drag reduction by a DBD plasma actuator. To simulate plasma’s effect more accurately, boundary-layer data is acquired from Reynolds Averaged Navier Stocks (RANS) equations instead of laminar boundary layer equations, although RANS equations need a much finer boundary-layer grid, and the linear stability analysis method is used to analyze the boundary layer and get the transition point. In this study, the influences of different actuation intensities and positions are investigated, and results show that if the actuation intensity is stronger and the actuation position is closer to the base transition point, more drag reduction can be obtained. However, the efficiency of plasma transition delay is really low. For example, when the actuation voltage is 16 kV, the actuation frequency is 1 kHz, and the main Mach number is 0.1, the saved power due to drag reduction is about 5.09 W, but the power consumed is about 32.61 W, and the efficiency is just 15.6%.
