Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators are innovative devices with proven effectiveness for various active flow control applications. In addition, their suitability has recently been demonstrated for heat transfer applications, such as film cooling enhancement, deicing or ice accumulation prevention. These devices have very interesting characteristics such as very low mass, low power consumption, low cost, fully electronic, fast response time and easy implementation, even in surfaces with complex shapes. In this context, it is very important to further investigate the implementation, optimization and physics of operation of surface DBD plasma actuators for thermo-fluid dynamics applications. In the current Special Issue therefore, we aim to collect innovative experimental, numerical or theoretical studies on dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators, including the physics behind their operation, thermal and/or aerodynamic performance improvements, new configurations and/or operation modes and novel possible applications. Additionally, we also welcome discussions of simultaneous ice prevention and flow control, ice sensing, development of durable dielectric materials for DBD, new experimental techniques or numerical methods for DBD analysis, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Actuators is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
