A plasma actuator is a device that uses ionized gas (plasma) to generate aerodynamic forces for various applications, primarily in flow control and drag reduction. Plasma actuators typically consist of two electrodes and a dielectric material, where a high-voltage electric field is applied to create plasma. This ionization of air generates a flow of ions and charged particles that interact with the surrounding fluid, leading to the manipulation of airflow.
