Resumen:
Several studies have shown that a surface non-thermal plasma may be used as an electrofluidodynamic actuator for airflow control. For few years, we has been working on this subject, especially in the case of DC corona discharges and AC barrier discharges established at the wall of profiles. The present paper deals with a new type of surface plasma using a sliding discharge. This discharge, excited here by a negative AC voltage with a positive DC component, is created in a three-electrode geometry: one DC positive electrode and two negative AC electrodes at the same voltage. Then a barrier discharge is established between the positive electrode and the first negative one when a surface corona discharge or sliding discharge is generated between the positive electrode and the second negative one. In this preliminary study, the goal is to obtain a stable sliding discharge. Then the electrical properties of this discharge are observed and briefly discussed
