(1) Use Karman-Pohlhausen boundary layer (b.l.) integral method
(2). Formulate a simplified model for drag increase (reduction) due to dc corona discharge along a flat plate
(3). Seek closed form solution for velocity profile, boundary layer (b.l.) thickness, plate drag, etc
(4) Plot boundary layer profiles in dimensionless form
(5) Compare b.l. growth to experimental results

Model Assumptions :Model Assumptions :
• Steady, thin boundary layer approximation, constant fluid properties (density and viscosity)
Electrostatics DC corona discharge :
• Parallel electrodes mounted flush plate (one at leading edge; one downstream at infinity) – perpendicular to flow
• Single polarity ions (ionic wind can oppose/aid free stream flow) and constant ion mobility
• Ion current flow is confined to the momentum boundary layer (vertical current is negligible)
• Convective (bulk flow) ion current is ignored – small free stream velocity

• Karman-Pohlhausen integral method simplifies to the know field-free solution
• Boundary layer thinning and thickening are predicted depending on the direction of (net) ionic current flow
• The calculated ionic force Fion is too large (~10‑2 N) compared to experimental values (~10‑4 N)
