Abstract：This paper mainly focuses on the electrical characteristics and mechanical properties of surface di －electric barrier discharge (SDBD) at atmospheric pressure , and comprehensively summarizes the recent research progress of the typical AC －driven single plate－plate SDBD in the field of airflow control.Only results for actu－ators operating in absence of surrounding airflow are presented.The main characteristics of the discharge current , the plasma extension and its morphology are firstly summarized , and then the time－averaged measurements of the induced thrust force and electric wind velocity are commented.Finally, the time－resolved measurements of the induced thrust force and electric wind velocity are summarized.Results show that single SDBD can produce mean EHD force and electric wind velocity up to 1 mN／W and 7 m／s, respectively.Glow－like discharge plays a dominant role for the generation of the thrust force and ionic wind.
