The electrohydrodynamic force generated by surface dielectric barrier discharges is analyzed with a fluid mode under conditions where the electrode above anode.. calculated current composed of successive large pulses associated filamentary spreading along surface, separated low periods discharge in transient “coronalike” regime. contribution corona to overall far dominant. An important result that extension region significant depends on product layer capacitance and rate voltage increase (spatial larger when this parameter smaller), but total, integrated not very sensitive these parameters.
