This federal contract award is for the development of a new type of plasma-based flow control actuator by CU Aerospace, a for-profit limited liability company, and its partner the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The actuator uses a high-voltage electrode that arcs to a cylindrical grounded electrode within a magnetic field, producing an arc plasma with a Lorentz force that creates a plasma disc. This is intended to enhance mixing and flow attachment across adverse pressure gradients,...
