“…The authors suggested that the density of the electrodes and the thickness of the dielectric layer play a crucial role in the effectiveness of the device. The ice shape modulation method on the leading-edge airfoil was studied by Jia et al [190] using nSDBD. The actuators were constructed with a dielectric Kapton layer (0.18 mm thick), and exposed (3 mm wide) and encapsulated (5 mm wide) copper foils (0.027 mm thick) electrodes were installed on a NACA 0012 plexiglass airfoil (800 mm spanwise length and 200 mm chord length) and tested in an icing wind tunnel under glaze ice conditions (LWC = 1.5 g/m 3 , MVD = 25 µm, T = −5 • C, U = 65 m/s) and under frost ice conditions (LWC = 0.5 g/m 3 , MVD = 25 µm, T = −15 • C, U = 65 m/s).…”

Ice accretion is a common issue on aircraft flying in cold climate conditions. The ice accumulation on aircraft surfaces disturbs the adjacent airflow field, increases the drag, and significantly reduces the aircraft’s aerodynamic performance. It also increases the weight of the aircraft and causes the failure of critical components in some situations, leading to premature aerodynamic stall and loss of control and lift. With this in mind, several authors have begun to study the thermal effects of plasma actuators for icing control and mitigation, considering both aeronautical and wind energy applications. Although this is a recent topic, several studies have already been performed, and it is clear this topic has attracted the attention of several research groups. Considering the importance and potential of using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators for ice mitigation, we aim to present in this paper the first review on this topic, summarizing all the information reported in the literature about three major subtopics: thermal effects induced by DBD plasma actuators, plasma actuators’ ability in deicing and ice formation prevention, and ice detection capability of DBD plasma actuators. An overview of the characteristics of these devices is performed and conclusions are drawn regarding recent developments in the application of plasma actuators for icing mitigation purposes.

“…Currently, more studies have been carried out on this topic and plasma actuation has gained great attention concerning icing mitigation due to its unique features [163,164]. SDBD was described by Jia et al (2022) [165] as a "novel anti-icing method featuring low energy consumption, geometrical simplicity, and rapid heating effect" and both nanosecond pulse SDBD (nSDBD) and alternating-current SDBD (AC-SDBD), depending on the driving waveform, have been verified through experiments for anti-icing purposes.…”

The quest for increased performance in the aeronautical and aerospace industries has provided the driving force and motivation for the research, investigation, and development of advanced ceramics. Special emphasis is therefore attributed to the ability of fine ceramics to fulfill an attractive, extreme, and distinguishing combination of application requirements. This is impelled by ensuring a suitable arrangement of thermomechanical, thermoelectric, and electromechanical properties. As a result, the reliability, durability, and useful lifetime extension of a critical structure or system are expected. In this context, engineered ceramic appliances consist of three main purposes in aeronautical and aerospace fields: thermal protection systems (TPS), thermal protection barriers (TBC), and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators. Consequently, this research provides an extensive discussion and review of the referred applications, i.e., TPS, TBC, and DBD, and discusses the concept of multifunctional advanced ceramics for future engineering needs and perspectives.

“…Compared with the common electrothermal de-icing methods, it has the advantages of high energy efficiency, fast response [3] , and simple arrangement [4] . Preliminary exploratory plasma ice shape regulation ice wind tunnel tests showed that the regular wavy wing surface can effectively reduce the effect of icing on the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft [5]- [6] . At the same time, the residual ice can be controlled effectively to avoid irregular ice ridges and secondary pollution by planning the layout position and excitation time of the plasma actuator rationally [7] .…”

Ice accretion on airfoils deteriorates aerodynamic characteristics and threats flight safety. Seriously, airborne de-icing system is uncertain to remove ice on the aircraft completely, and ice tolerant flight still exists. Plasma ice shape regulation is an emerging de-icing technology. The continuous ice is cut into intermittent ice by the thermal effect of the plasma actuator. Different actuator arrangement schemes are selected, forming different intermittent ice. As ice tolerant flight exists, the internal relationship between arrangement of ice shape and flight risk is a key problem that needs to be solved in application of plasma ice shape regulation technology. A method to quantify flight risk under ice shape regulation conditions is proposed. Wind tunnel tests with simulation ice were carried out based on the swept wing scaled model, obtaining the aerodynamic parameters. The quantitative assessment of flight risk based on flight safety boundaries was conducted. The results show that the flight risk decreases from level 2 to level 4 when the ratio of the width of single regulation ice to the mean aerodynamic chord of the wing is 0.15. Meanwhile, the flight quality was evaluated and increased from level 2 to level 1 compared with full ice configuration. The evaluation method based on quantitative assessment of flight risk can provide technical references for optimizing schemes of ice shape regulation, applying to flight safety analysis under ice shape regulation conditions.
