An experiment is conducted to simulate the lift increment function of the mechanical Gurney flaps by the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators, which is named as the plasma Gurney flap. Three different kinds of the plasma Gurney flap have been proposed. For configurations 1 and 2, two DBD plasma actuators are placed onto the pressure (lower) surface of the airfoil near the trailing edge to produce a wall-normal jet, with a distance from the downstream edge of the second electrode to the airfoil trailing edge 1 mm and zero, respectively. For configuration 3, only one DBD plasma actuator is positioned onto the airfoil pressure surface to produce a horizontal wall jet opposite to the free stream. The force measurement indicates that the configuration 3 can most significantly improve the lift coefficient, while configuration 1 has little influence on the aerodynamic forces. The PIV measurement indicates that the flow topology around the airfoil induced by the configuration 3 is similar to that induced by the mechanical Gurney flap, suggesting a similarity in their liftincrement mechanism.
