Abstract

A computational model for glow discharge-induced fluid flow and heat transfer was developed. Features of plasma physics and an approximate modeling of the paraelectric effect on the flow were presented. Parameters related to electrode operation were varied to investigate the characteristics of the plasma-induced flow and heat transfer. It was found that the induced flow velocities and heat flux varied proportionally with the applied frequency and voltage.
