Resumen:
A study of the induced flow pattern, in
quiescent air, by the trielectrode plasma curtain (TPC)
discharge is presented and analyzed in terms of the
electrical characteristics of the discharge. The TPC
discharge is based on the combination of a dielectric
barrier (DBD) with a corona (CD) discharges in a three
electrode system, and basically it consists in the
stretching of a pure DBD by the action of a negative
corona discharge generated between the active electrode of
the dielectric barrier and a remote third electrode. It was
found that the observed flow pattern is mainly controlled
by the forces exerted at the vicinities of both exposed
electrodes where the electric field is very high. On the
other hand, the net force produced at the inter-electrode
gap seems to be very small in spite of the large current
flowing there, a fact that can be attributed to the relatively
low value of the electric field at the streamer channel.
