Previous studies [7,22] underlined that, to exert an effective control on a deep stall, it is necessary to directly interact with the vortex structure formation and detachment. This is typically achieved by pulsing the actuation with a repetition frequency F close to the vortex shedding one. For a DBD, the pulse frequency F represents a square wave modulation applied to the normal (carrier) frequency f . The pulses repetition is usually expressed by means of the reduced dimensionless frequency F+, defined in literature as F+ = F c/U∞ . Its most effective value for stall control is proved to be close to 1, corresponding to the time scale of a fluid element traveling along the chord c at velocity U∞. Accordingly, also in this study, F+ was set to unity while the carrier frequency f was kept at 650 Hz. Another important parameter is the duty cycle, which represents the (active time)/(pulse period) ratio, here, varied from 20% to 50%. Within this range, it does not significantly influence the effect of the actuator on the flow; however, lower values correspond to lower power consumptions. In Figure 12a, the plasma-off condition is observed. It is characterized by a separation point laying close to the leading edge and a recirculation bubble much larger with respect to early stall, expanding also outside of the captured region. The actuator is not expected to reattach the flow, but the plasma-on configuration shows a mild shift in the separation point, still represented by the red arrow and a clearly visible change in the size and shape of the recirculation bubble (Figure 12b). Thanks to the pulsed actuation mode, the bubble is shifted closer to the airfoil and a well-visible recirculation structure appears. +F􏲐B􏲌B +F􏲐􏲏 ,+F 􏲓􏲙 O􏲚? 􏲓 􏲘􏲓􏲙 􏲓􏲙 O􏲚? 􏲓 􏲘􏲓􏲙 􏲖=􏲗 􏲒 􏲓􏲙# 􏲓 N􏲚?􏲕 􏲖>􏲗 􏲒 􏲓􏲙# 􏲓 N􏲚?􏲕 $􏲓 #􏲓 "􏲓 !􏲓 􏲓 􏲒􏲓 􏲓 7􏲖􏲎􏲚I􏲗 􏲘􏲒􏲓 􏲓 􏲒􏲓 􏲓 !􏲓 "􏲓 􏲒 􏲓􏲙# 7􏲖􏲎􏲚I􏲗 N􏲚? 􏲓 Figure 11.

These modifications are once again confirmed by the cross-wake velocity profiles. In fact, Figure 13a indicates a significant reduction of the region interested by the momentum drop, even if the whole wake profile, remarkably large for α = 22◦, cannot be recovered by the present setup. +F􏲌􏲛 ,+F
