What causes ionic wind?

Physorg  February 07, 2018
An international team of researchers (South Korea, Slovenia) reports direct evidence that electric wind is caused by an electrohydrodynamic force generated by the charged particle drag as a result of the momentum transfer from electrons/ions to neutral particles. The findings may have applications in reducing the drag force on a vehicle, resulting in the reduction of fuel consumption and reducing flow separation on wind turbine blades… read more.
