A new approach to obtaining strong electrohydrodynamic flows in a gas environment is discussed in which a barrier discharge distributed over a dielectric surface is used as an intense ion source. Electric discharge systems for active control of flows with a high (>15 l s⁻¹) volumetric gas consumption are developed and investigated. A highly effective multidischarge actuator system is developed to control air flows over aerodynamic surfaces with significantly higher actuator force and energy characteristics compared to the known world analogs.
