Electro-active polymer (EAP) dimple actuators for flow control
The design and fabrication of electro-active polymers (EAP) actuators, in the form of active dimples is described. Active dimples alter the flow by creating time-dependent vorticity flux at the wall, by virtue of changes in surface pressure gradients and local surface accelerations. Potential elasto...
