  • Enhancements of edge zonal flows, radial electric fields, and turbulence are observed in electron cyclotron resonance heating-heated plasmas (Zhao et al 2013 Nucl. Fusion 53 083011). In this paper, the effects of sawtooth heat pulses on flows and turbulence are presented. These experiments are performed using multiple Langmuir probe arrays in the edge plasmas of the HL-2A tokamak. The edge zonal flows, radial electric fields, and turbulence are all enhanced by sawteeth. Propagation of the zonal flow and turbulence intensities is also observed. The delay time of the maximal intensity of the electric fields, zonal flows, and turbulence with respect to the sawtooth crashes is estimated as ~1 ms and comparable to that of the sawtooth-triggered intermediate phases. Not only the zonal flows but also the radial electric fields lag behind the turbulence. Furthermore, the intensities of both the zonal flows and electric fields nearly linearly increase/decrease with the increase/decrease of the turbulence intensity. A double-source predator–prey model analysis suggests that a relatively strong turbulence source may contribute to the dominant zonal flow formation during sawtooth cycles.

  • When a helicopter is flying forward, the retreating blade is working at large angles of attack to maintain aerodynamic balance with the forwarding blade. The greater the forwarding flight speed, the larger the angle of attack of the retreating blade. Thus, the rotating blades can easily enter a dynamic stall state, especially in the case of a helicopter flying at a high speed or with a heavy load.

    Flow separation or dynamic stall occurring on the rotor blades is an important limiting factor for helicopter performance. It will lead to an increase in rotor power requirement, blade flutter and a reduction in the rotor/body coupling dynamic stability of the helicopter, limiting its flight envelope [1, 2]. If the flow separation of the helicopter's rotors is restrained, the collective pitch of the rotor can be further increased and the maximum available lift force can be also enhanced.

    Compared with a fixed wing, flows around a rotor blade are more complex and unsteady. The incoming flow velocity and angle of attack for each blade is changing in forward flight, which requires the flow control method to have the function of adjusting actuation parameters in real time. Common flow control methods [3] and the progress of their development for airfoil dynamic stall control are reviewed in [4, 5].

    Plasma actuation mainly uses a high voltage acting on a plasma actuator to break down local gas, and the charged particles move under the electric field, often accompanied by the emission of light and heat. Typical plasma actuations usually include surface-arc actuation mainly used for shock control, plasma synthetic jets mainly used for high-speed control and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) actuation mainly used for low-speed separation control. Compared with other flow control techniques, a plasma actuator has the advantages of very short response time, simple construction, low weight, wide frequency bandwidth control authority and low energy consumption.

    The use of DBD plasma actuators for flow control has been extensively studied over the last 15 years. However, research on surface DBD plasma actuation for separation control has mainly focused on static airfoils. Research into DBD plasma actuation for dynamic stall control started 15 years ago [6], mainly for two-dimensional oscillating airfoils [79]. However, flow control of the rotor blade stall has not been widely studied.

    A team at Northwestern Polytechnical University in China carried out preliminary flow field measurements on plasma flow control of rotors and obtained the flow field changes before and after plasma actuation [10]. Starikovskiy et al used nanosecond pulsed surface DBD actuation to increase the lift of a rotor in hovering mode [11]. Within the actuation frequency range of 300–2000 Hz, the maximum lift coefficient could be increased by 50% at most.

    Recently, DBD plasma actuation was used for leading-edge separation control on a 300 kW rotor with a blade chord length of around 1 m at a Reynolds number (Re) of ~1.6 × 106. It was found that the power coefficient improved under actuation at low tip speed ratios [12]. Greenblatt et al applied pulsed plasma actuation for rotor performance enhancement, and the effect of pulse-modulated actuation was evaluated at tip Re = 1.0 × 105 and 1.5 × 105 [13]. The flow control effect showed a mild sensitivity to reduced frequency and a small effect of the duty cycle (DC).

    So far, there have been only preliminary investigations on rotor flow control using DBD plasma actuation. The influence of actuation parameters needs to be further revealed. In this work, a test system for a plasma-assisted rotor is established, and the influence of plasma actuation parameters on the aerodynamic performance of the rotor in a hovering state is investigated.

    The test was carried out on the Φ1.5 m rotor test rig of the China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center. The rotor test rig system is composed of a rotor hub, a six-component balance, direct current speed-regulating motor, etc. The rotor has a 1400 mm blade span and is powered by a direct current electrical motor with a rated power of ~4.4 kW. The maximum rotational speed of the rotor is about 2200 r min−1.

    The plasma flow control system mainly consists of rotor blades with plasma actuators, an electrical slip ring for a high-voltage power supply, a high-voltage AC power supply, a force balance and an aerodynamic data acquisition system, as shown in figure 1.

    Figure  1.  The overall test system.

    After adjusting the pitches each time, the aerodynamic data were acquired when the balance data reached dynamic stability. For each test state, during a period of 84 rotations of the rotor, the balance data and the rotation speed were acquired synchronously under the 64 per revolution triggers of the encoder azimuth sign. Since the rotor is in a hovering state, aerodynamic data for 84 laps are processed on average. The final time-average data are used to calculate the thrust coefficient and torque coefficient of the rotor. The dimensionless thrust coefficient CT and torque coefficient CMy are calculated by

    Ω=2πnCT=T/[12ρπR2(ΩR)2]CMy=My/[12ρπR2(ΩR)2R]

    where Ω is the rotor blade angular velocity, n is the rotation speed, R is the rotor radius, ρ is the air density, T is the thrust of the rotor model and My is the torque of the rotor model.

    The test employed a two-blade rotor made of fiber-reinforced resin matrix composite material. The rotor blades have a section of CRA312 airfoil along the whole blade span and a rectangular blade planform. The chord length of the blade is 75 mm, and the rotor radius (calculated from the rotation center) is 700 mm. The blades are designed in a linear torsion with a twist angle from the root to the tip of −8°. The collective pitch (θ0.7 or α) of the rotor refers to the pitch at 70% of the rotor radius.

    The plasma actuation system consists of a DBD actuator, a sine waveform AC power supply and an electric parameter measurement system. The asymmetric DBD actuator consisted of electrodes and dielectric material, which were attached to the leading edge of each blade. A 0.2 mm thick copper tape was used for the electrodes, and a 0.12 mm thick Kapton tape was the dielectric material. The two electrodes separated by the dielectric layer were glued to the barrier layer with an inner gap of 0 mm. The anode was exposed to the atmospheric environment and the cathode was encapsulated under the dielectric material.

    DBD actuators can be placed at various places on the blade's surface. In the present study, the actuator is arranged at the leading edge of the blade from 0.2R to 0.95R in its spanwise direction. Figure 2 gives the details of the location of the DBD actuator. Plasma actuation was generated on the pressure side of the blade and the direction of induced airflow is consistent with the direction of the incoming flow. At high angles of attack, the perturbation generated by the plasma actuation propagated along the leading-edge surface to the suction side.

    Figure  2.  The rotor's airfoil section with a DBD plasma actuator.

    The AC power supply had a range of output peak-peak voltages (Vpp) of 0–20 kV and a carrier frequency (fc) range of 5–20 kHz. As the actuator was activated, the discharge voltage and current were measured by a four-channel DPO4104 Tektronix oscilloscope, a Tektronix P6015A high-voltage probe, and a current probe (TCP0030). A typical profile for the discharge voltage (Vpp)–current (I) signal is shown in figure 3. The percentage of time when the AC voltage is on is called the DC; this is controllable within the range of 5%–99%. The modulation pulse frequency can be continuously adjustable from 1 to 1000 Hz. When the pulse-modulated voltage was applied to the DBD actuator, the actuation is cycled on and off with an unsteady period, thus, unsteady plasma actuation is generated with a series of unsteady vortices moving along the wall surface. When DC = 100%, the actuator is driven by continuous AC voltages and steady plasma actuation can be generated with a tangential jet along the wall [14].

    Figure  3.  (a) Discharge image and (b) the discharge voltage–current waveforms of the DBD actuator on the blade (fc = 5.145 kHz, Vpp = 8.5 kV).

    To conduct the AC power to the DBD actuator on the rotating blades, the test rig was additionally equipped with a three-channel electrical slip ring. Each channel can withstand voltages up to 15 kV and current up to 10 A. The contact resistance of each channel is about 0.01 Ω, which allows trusty delivery of high-voltage pulses from the AC power supply to the DBD actuator on the rotating blades. The discharge signal is stable as the speed is gradually increased, indicating that the conductive slip ring is reliable.

    In static airfoil separation control, AC-DBD actuation can control flow separation up to Re = 2.3 × 106 corresponding to Mach 0.4 [15]. For helicopters, the typical flow velocity over the retreating blades is of the order of 100 m s−1 (Mach 0.3) with Re of the order of 106. This typical flow condition is within the controllable range of AC-DBD actuation. In the current test, considering the stable rotational speed of the rotor test rig and the voltage tolerance of the slip ring, a rotational speed of n = 550 r min−1 was selected, corresponding to a blade tip speed of about 40 m s−1 and tip Re = 1.7 × 105.

    Firstly, the baseline aerodynamic performance of the rotor was measured with the plasma actuation turned off. The collective pitch θ0.7 of the blade was granularly increased to obtain the stall angle. At each collective pitch, the thrust and torque data are acquired by the box balance, and the dimensionless results are shown in figure 4.

    Figure  4.  Repeatability of two measurements of the baseline aerodynamic coefficients of rotors at different pitches.

    The overall uncertainty in both the thrust and the torque data was estimated by repeating the force measurement of the rotor twice, which showed that the force measurements were stable and reliable, especially at high angles of attack. However, the repeatability is relatively poor at low angles of attack, mainly due to the small aerodynamic load of the blades at low angles of attack.

    The thrust coefficient CT maintains a linear growth before the stall pitch, while the torque coefficient CMy presents a non-linear growth trend. However, when the collective pitch exceeds 17°, the thrust coefficient decreases and the corresponding torque coefficient increases sharply, indicating that the blade stall phenomenon occurs above this pitch.

    The parametric study was conducted under a constant motor power Pm, corresponding to the initial conditions of n = 550 r min−1 with θ0.7 = −1°.

    In the tests, two patterns of actuation (steady actuation and pulsed actuation) were tested. With the carrier frequency fixed at 5.145 kHz during modulation, the influence of pulse frequency fp and DC on the control effect was studied.

    In most investigations on plasma flow control, it is found that leading-edge plasma actuation has little effect on the airfoil's lift and drag coefficients before the stall. So, the flow control effect was investigated only near the stalled pitches. The influence of the pulsed actuation frequency on the control effect was firstly studied.

    For an airfoil with a constant chord length c in a freestream U, the reduced actuation frequency is almost defined as F+=fp×c/U. For a rotor blade in a rotational state, the velocity magnitude relative to the blade varies with the radius r and rotational speed Ω.

    Thus, the reduced frequency at radius r can be defined as

    F+=fp×c/U(r)

    where U(r)=(U2i(r)+(Ωr)2)0.5 is the magnitude of the velocity relative to the blade at radius r. Ui(r) is the inflow velocity at radius r.

    At a constant rotational speed, Ui(r) varies with the pitch. Here, we may not be able to obtain an accurate value of Ui(r). At a constant fp, F+ changes with the radius r. In this paper, under the assumption that Ui(r) is much lower than ΩR, and for convenience, we defined a reduced frequency based on the flow conditions at the middle of the blade, namely,

    F+=fp×c/Umidfp×c/(0.5ΩR).

    With the actuation voltage Vpp = 8 kV and DC = 50%, the pulsed actuation frequency fp was adjusted to 67, 135, 270, 400, 540, 670, 800 and 1000 Hz, respectively. A rotational speed of n = 550 r min−1 corresponds to a Umid of 20 m s−1; thus the corresponding reduced pulsed actuation frequency F+ = 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.75, respectively. The changes in thrust coefficients and torque coefficients with and without plasma actuation are shown in figure 5.

    Figure  5.  Changes of (a) thrust coefficient and (b) torque coefficient as a function of pulsed frequency.

    Without actuation, the blades achieve their maximal thrust coefficient at θ0.7 = 16.7°–18.9°. Further increase of θ0.7 leads to severe flow separation of the blades and decrease in the thrust coefficients. When the actuator is working at post-stall pitches, the thrust coefficient is effectively increased and AC-DBD actuation keeps the thrust coefficient at a relatively high level compared with the plasma off case.

    In terms of torque coefficients, before the stall pitches (e.g. θ0.7 = 16.7°), the torque coefficient of the rotor is almost unchanged under the actuation. For post-stall pitches, the torque of the rotor is reduced noticeably for the actuated cases compared with the baseline, and the stall pitch is greatly delayed up to more than 3°. At θ0.7 = 21.1°, the thrust is increased by about 20%, and the torque is reduced by about 27.4%.

    The changes in thrust and torque coefficients indicate that AC-DBD plasma actuation can effectively increase the payload and extend the flight envelope of the rotor.

    In a certain range, the influence of actuation frequency is obvious, and the control effect is relatively weak when fp is less than 270 Hz. From the aerodynamic coefficients, the control effects are very similar in the actuation frequency range of fp = 270–670 Hz. To make the graph easy to read, the results at fp = 270 and 400 Hz are not drawn in figure 5. Further, we select θ0.7 = 19.9° to observe the time history of thrust coefficients and the changes in rotational speed at different actuation frequencies, as shown in figure 6. The thrust coefficients with increasing effect correspond to fp = 1000, 800, 670, 540, 400, 270, 135 and 67 Hz from left to right in figure 6 (the red line).

    Figure  6.  Time history of thrust coefficients and rotational speed variation under different actuation frequencies (θ0.7 = 19.9°).

    Firstly, we can confirm that different actuation frequencies have achieved obvious control effects compared with the plasma off case. From the comparison of flow control effects under different fp, the relatively more obvious control effect is achieved at fp = 670 and 540 Hz.

    When motor power Pm is constant, we know Pm =A × My × n, where A is a constant. When torque My decreases, rotational speed n will increase. Under the same motor power Pm, the decrease in the blade's drag at different plasma actuation frequencies can also be observed from the increase of the rotational speed. As shown in figure 6 (the blue line), the changes in rotational speed are obvious with and without actuation. The rotational speed without plasma control is n = 493 r min−1, and the average rotational speed increases to n = 500 r min−1 with actuation.

    In addition to the pulse frequency, DC is also an important parameter of unsteady actuation. The smaller the DC, the stronger the non-stationary of the actuation. On the contrary, the larger the DC, the more stable and steadier the actuation. When DC = 99%, it can already be considered a steady actuation.

    With the actuation frequency fp = 540 Hz and the actuation voltage Vpp = 8.5 kV, the influence of DC at DC = 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% on the flow control effect was tested. The changes in thrust coefficients and torque coefficients before and after plasma actuation are shown in figure 7.

    Figure  7.  Dependence of thrust coefficients and torque coefficients on the duty cycle (DC) of unsteady actuation.

    On the whole, in the tested DCs, obvious improvements in thrust coefficients and torque coefficients have been achieved compared with the plasma off case.

    Except for the effect at DC = 100%, which is slightly weaker, other DCs seem to make only a limited difference to the flow control effect. The time history of the thrust coefficients and rotational speed variations under different DCs at θ0.7 = 21.1° was tracked, as shown in figure 8. The thrust coefficients with the increasing effect correspond to DC = 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% from left to right in figure 8 (the red line).

    Figure  8.  Time history of thrust coefficients and rotational speed variation under different actuation duty cycles (DC) at θ0.7 = 21.1°.

    For the rotor driven by a constant motor power, the rotor's thrust and rotational speed change obviously under plasma actuation with different DCs. At the stall pitch θ0.7 = 21.1°, plasma actuations with DC = 50% and 75% give the most obvious improvements in the thrust force, and the rotational speed is most stable.

    When the motor power driving the rotor is constant, an increase in the blade's drag will decrease the rotational speed, especially in stalled conditions. When AC-DBD plasma actuation is applied and the flow separation is restrained, the pressure drag on the blade is reduced, the rotor speed is further increased and the rotor thrust is also improved. Therefore, plasma actuation has the potential for application in energy-saving and separation control of helicopter retreating blades.

    The effect of plasma actuation on the hover efficiency is also analyzed. The hover efficiency of the rotor is

    η=12C3/2TCMy.

    Figure 9 shows the changes in hover efficiency with and without plasma actuation. At the stalled collective pitches, the hover efficiency is significantly improved by AC-DBD plasma actuation compared with the plasma off case. At the same time, the changes in η are related to the parameters θ0.7 and fp. At a slight-stall pitch (θ0.7 = 18.9°), different fp can achieve a relatively consistent improvement in η. At deep-stall conditions (θ0.7 = 19.9°, 21.1°), the influence of fp is obvious. An fp value of 540 Hz seems to be the threshold frequency, and the hover efficiency is more pronounced when fp ≥ 540 Hz; a further increase in actuation frequency had only a minor effect on improvement of η.

    Figure  9.  Influence of actuation parameters on hover efficiency. (a) Influence of actuation frequency when the duty cycle (DC) = 50% and Vpp = 8.5 kV. (b) Impact of DC when fp = 540 Hz and Vpp = 8.5 kV.

    At slight-stall pitches (θ0.7 = 18.9°, 19.9°), the four tested DCs produce very similar changes to the hover efficiency. However, a marked difference was observed at θ0.7 = 21.1°, with only a very limited increase in the hover efficiency under steady actuation (DC = 100%).

    To further understand the effectiveness of plasma actuation in modifying the flow, a high-speed camera was used to monitor flow patterns of the surface tuft in real time. A series of surface tuft-based flow visualizations were obtained on the outer 3/5 of the blade. A tuft of 402 polyester cotton sewing thread with a diameter of approximately 0.1 mm and a length of approximately 20 mm was evenly pasted on the upper surface along the spanwise direction, The tuft has a fast-tracking ability to intuitively and dynamically display the flow separation region on the upper surface of the blade. The layout of the tuft measurement was shown in figure 1.

    A lamp (EF-200W LED) was placed on a stand beside the test rig to illuminate the tufts. At an exposure time of 50 ms and a sampling frequency of 2000 Hz, the camera recorded the video image of the tufts for 2 s for each test case.

    As the thread can only qualitatively display the flow patterns with and without plasma actuation, the detailed differences in the flow field under different actuation parameters cannot be distinguished. So, in addition to the plasma off case (figure 10(a)), only one controlled flow case at DC = 50% and fp = 540 Hz is presented here (figure 10(b)). The tuft states for other actuation parameters were very similar to figure 10(b).

    Figure  10.  Tuft-based flow visualization of the blade (θ0.7 = 21.1°): (a) baseline, (b) pulsed plasma actuation at DC = 50%, fp = 540 Hz.

    For the baseline, the free ends of the tufts showed obvious lateral swing and upstream swing, indicating that there is obvious flow separation on the upper surface of the blades.

    When plasma actuation was activated, those same tufts consistently deflected downstream and there was no obvious wobble, indicating that flow separation was well restrained by plasma actuation. However, under plasma actuation, the tufts near the blade tip still had a certain swing, and their orientations varied from image to image, indicating that it was difficult for AC-DBD actuation to restrain tip separation of the blade.

    To explore plasma flow control technology and its effect on helicopter rotors, a rotor plasma flow control test system was established in this work. Arranged at the leading edge of the blade from 0.2R to 0.95R, a DBD plasma actuator driven by sinusoidal AC high voltages was used for plasma actuation. By direct force measurement, the influence of actuation parameters on the aerodynamic performance of the rotor in a hovering state was studied at a tip Re of 1.7 × 105. The main conclusions are as follows:

    (1) Preliminary test results indicate that AC-DBD plasma actuation at the leading edge of the blade can produce a significant increase in the thrust, delay blade stall, improve the maximum thrust coefficient of the rotor and improve the hover efficiency after stall at a constant power to the motor.

    (2) Under a constant motor power, plasma actuation can reduce the rotor torque and increase the rotational speed at post-stall pitches. Compared with the steady actuation case, unsteady actuation is more efficient in aerodynamic improvement at large pitches.

    (3) Tuft-based flow visualizations obtained by a high-speed camera show that plasma actuation promotes reattachment of the flow separation of the blade's upper surface.

    From the control effect, AC-DBD actuation can improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the rotor in a hovering state, and also shows its potential ability to control the dynamic stall of the retreating blades in a helicopter.

    Unlike plasma flow control on the fixed-wing or 2D static airfoil, the optimal actuation frequency range obtained in this study is relatively wide. Rotation of the blades leads to a large difference in flow velocity near the root of the blade and near its tip, which makes it difficult to optimize the pulsed actuation frequency along the whole span of the blade. Therefore, it may be a good choice to arrange distributed actuators spanwise and apply different actuation frequencies for each section of the blade.
