  1. 1. Simulations of Plasma Creating Electric Wind

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Linnéa Sellerholm; Amanda Stenberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Plasma actuators; flow control; dielectric barrier discharge;

    Abstract : Plasma actuators are devices that with two electrodesand a dielectric material can ionize the air around itand thus control the airflow. They have considerable potentialfor a multitude of reasons, one of which being that they haveno moving parts, making them easy to produce and hard tobreak. READ MORE

  3. 2. Flow Separation Control Utilizing Plasma Actuators

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Stefan Nilsson; [2018]
    Keywords : plasma actuator; flow separation control; fluid dynamics; aerodynamics; aerospace engineering; plasma physics;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis was to both theoretically and experimentally show the effect of a plasma actuator for flow separation control.  In the theoretical part a solver was implemented in MATLAB code, to solve the governing equations describing the plasma actuator. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modeling Dielectric Barrier Discharge plasma actuators to be used for active flow control

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Oscar Eriksson; [2018]
    Keywords : Dielectric Barrier Discharge; plasma; flow control;

    Abstract : This Master Thesis work cover the simulation of the movement of charged species exposed to a high gradient electric field, the same environment a plasma actuator produces. The final goal is to use the plasma actuator as an active flow control device to decrease the drag of a body moving in air. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optimal placement of plasma actuators on trucks : A drag reduction study using adjoint methods

    University essay from KTH/Aeroakustik

    Author : Samuel Gottfarb Bart; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The fuel consumption of vehicles plays an important environmental role and ways of improving the fuel economy is beneficial for a sustainable future. Active flow control is one method that can potentially reduce the aerodynamic drag significantly and therefore the fuel consumption. READ MORE

  6. 5. Dual motor control for backlash reduction

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Johannes Schiffer; [2009]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Within the EU FP-6 project SMErobotTM a new type of high-performance robots has been developed by ABB Robotics, the Robotics Lab at Lund University and Güdel AG, Switzerland. The new design is based on a parallel configuration of the robot's joints (parallel robots). READ MORE
