Abstract

A point-to-mesh type discharge system, utilizing a water-pen point as a corona discharge electrode and a mesh as an ion induction electrode, has been proposed, and the effect of the water-pen point electrode of the discharge system to the ionic wind velocity and generation yield was investigated. It was observed that the proposed discharge system with the water-pen point electrode can generate a higher ionic wind velocity as compared with that of the metal point electrode. As a result, the peak ionic wind velocities of 2.61 and 4.05 m/s for the positive and negative corona discharges of the proposed discharge system can be obtained, which are 1.39 and 1.15 times higher than those of the metal point electrode with same design. The ionic wind generation yield of 4.72 m/s/W of the discharge system with the water-pen point electrode was obtained for the positive corona, which was 3.66 times higher than that of the metal point electrode. This enhancement may be due to the effect of the water-pen point electrode.
