Abstract
The paper investigates the dynamics of a new multiple bipolar multiple Dielectric Barrier Discharges (DBD) actuator using in large-scale flow control. Particle image velocimetry experiments are performed to characteristic the effectiveness of the multiple bipolar DBD plasma actuator. The results show that the mutual interaction between the electrodes, one major disadvantage of traditional DBD characterized by reverse discharge can be entirely avoided, and a constantly accelerating electric wind velocity can be obtained by using the new multiple bipolar DBD plasma actuator.
