Change in the direction of electric wind from a wire electrode tilted relative to a grounded plane

Аннотация

We report on experimental investigations of the structure of electric (ionic) wind in the wire-versus-plane electrode system with a constant interelectrode gap and variable wire tilt angle relative to the plane. Characteristic wind velocity distributions were determined using a laser Doppler anemometry technique. It is established that the position of the narrow central jet of the wind significantly changes depending on the tilt of the corona-forming electrode.
