DISBANDED CASCADED ARRAY FOR GENERATING AND MOVING PLASMA CLUSTERS FOR ACTIVE AIRFLOW CONTROL

摘要

An array of electrodes (104) for selectively generating plasma is described herein. The array includes a first electrode (302A) disposed along a first dielectric (304A), and at least a second electrode (302B). A second electrode (302B) is sandwiched between the first dielectric (304A) and the second dielectric (304B). A power supply (802) provides electrical power to at least the first and second electrodes. In turn, a power supply controller controls the power supply (802), so as to regulate the electrical power supplied to at least the first and the second electrodes, and to cause the first and second electrodes to generate and move plasma to modify different airflow patterns.
