Investigation of magnetohydrodynamic plasma actuators for aerodynamic flow control

This thesis describes the analysis, fabrication and testing of a novel magnetohydrodynamic plasma actuator for aerodynamic flow control, specifically, retreating blade stall. A magnetohydrodynamic plasma actuator is comprised of two parallel rail electrodes embedded chord-wise on the upper surface...
