high-lift airfoil using a single dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator. Control
effectiveness is investigated for two actuator locations as well as various reduced frequencies,
applied voltages and waveforms. Results show that a single DBD plasma actuator located at
the flap shoulder can slightly increase or reduce the size of the time-averaged separation
bubble over the flap depending on the frequency of actuation. This effectiveness is not
improved by an increase in applied voltage or a change from a sinusoidal to positive
sawtooth waveform for the cases examined. Spatial eigenmodes calculated from twocomponent
PIV using POD show that a single DBD plasma actuator at the flap shoulder can
have a significant effect on the structure of higher order modes. However the corresponding
energy of these modes is low in comparison to the dominant modes in the wake.
