摘要: 文章利用CFD软件FLUENT中的自定义函数接口, 将等离子体对中性气体的激励作用模型化为体积力引入Navier-Stokes方程, 研究了等离子体气动激励诱导的平板射流, 以及介质阻挡放电(dielectric barrier discharge, DBD)等离子体激励对NACA0015翼型大迎角分离流的控制作用.计算分析表明, 多对电极等离子体激励器可以有效控制NACA0015翼型大迎角分离流动.Abstract: Plasma actuator was modeled as body force vectors resulting from external electric field and net charge distribution in plasma. Using FLUENT User Defined Function(UDF), the body force was introduced to Navier-Stokes equations as source term to simulate the flat jet induced by plasma actuator, as well as the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma excitation of NACA0015 airfoil at large attack angle separation flow control. The simulation show that the multi electrode plasma actuator can control the flow separation of NACA0015 airfoil at high angle of attack effectively.
