Ongoing research:

Applied studies of ion wind effects for the development of energy-efficient aerodynamic systems

Objective/outcome: the project focuses on understanding EHD phenomena and their potential application in reducing the air resistance of a moving object. The application of EHD effects to control airflow near the surface of a moving body is attractive because the system does not require moving parts, has a fast response time, and offers great potential for miniaturization and installation on large surfaces, such as airplanes or moving objects.
