Abstract
An experiment on a surface dielectric barrier discharge driven by nanosecond pulses, the kind of actuator used to keep ice off aircraft surfaces, read with high-speed schlieren and infrared imaging. Three parameters were varied: the pulse voltage, the repetition rate, and the width of the covered electrode. Voltage sets the intensity and the reach of the discharge across the dielectric; repetition rate sets how many discharges a second and so the energy in; both drive the ind...

Why it is here
An experiment on a surface dielectric barrier discharge driven by nanosecond pulses, the kind of actuator used to keep ice off aircraft surfaces, read with high-speed schlieren and infrared imaging. Three parameters were varied: the pulse voltage, the repetition rate, and the width of the covered electrode. Voltage sets the intensity and the reach of the discharge across the dielectric; repetition rate sets how many discharges a second and so the energy in; both drive the induced flow and, more strongly, the heating. The width of the buried electrode shapes the potential across the surface and so how far the discharge filaments extend, and a wider one gives a larger flow field and a larger temperature rise for the same drive.
Kept for the same reason as the silver-layer reactor beside it, from the other direction: this is what a nanosecond-pulsed high voltage does across a dielectric, measured, with the electrode geometry as a variable. Meyer's cavities are pulsed dielectrics with the electrode geometry as the whole argument, and his memos talk about pulse repetition and electrode dimensions as if their effect were obvious. Here it is observed. The anti-icing application is incidental, though a reader of the steam resonator pages will notice that Meyer's answer to frozen water was also a pulsed dielectric heater.
