Abstract

Forward blowing from a pair of plasma actuators on the leeward surface and near the apex is used to switch the asymmetric vortex pair over a cone of semi-apex angle 10° at high angles of attack. Wind tunnel pressure measurements show that by appropriate design of the actuators and appropriate choice of the AC voltage and frequency, side forces and yawing moments of opposite signs can be obtained at a given angle of attack by activating one of the plasma actuators. Further work is suggested.
