ARBER MASATI is an academic who published a paper in 2017 entitled PARTICLE CHARGING EFFECTS ON PIV MEASUREMENTS OF PLASMA ACTUATORS. ARBER MASATI published this work as part of a team: Masati, Arber. Here is a description of this work: Plasma actuators gained popularity during the change of the millennium for their ability to induce airflow and reattach stalled flow. Since then, investigations have been conducted to characterize their performance and extend their applications. Plasma actuators can be used to increase lift, decrease drag, and increase the efficiency of wind turbines. Phase locked ensemble averaging particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to determine the induced velocity field and characterize actuator behavior and performance. However, very few studies account for particle charging from dusty plasma theory. Particle charging theories for high pressure plasmas predict a mostly linear trend between charge and particle size, with smaller particles charging less. In this work, PIV experiments were conducted with monodisperse nanoparticles for sizes ranging between.
