The effect of the surface capacity HF discharge on airfoil flow around has been studied in the sit uation when the oncoming flow velocity is 20 m/s and the Reynolds numbers are Re = 10 5 . The power deliv ered to discharge was modulated with a frequency of 3 × 10 2 -2 × 10 4 Hz, which corresponds to a Strouhal number of St = 1.2-80, and the average electric power (W av ) was 50-400 W. It has been indicated that the aerodynamic drag decreased and the lift increased at stall and post stall angles of attack when the HF dielec tric barrier discharge was turned on. A nonstationary stochastic change in the C x and C y aerodynamic char acteristics was observed at a stall angle in the St = 4-10 range of Strouhal numbers when the power was insuf ficient (W av ≈ 100 W).
