This article conducted a theoretical, experimental, and numerical investigation to clarify the plasma kernel model and energy transformation characteristics of the plasma synthetic jet actuator (PSJA). Plasma kernel and blast wave theory were used to describe the formation and evolution of the arc-discharge energy deposition process and build a plasma kernel model. Schlieren experiment visualized the formation and evolution of the synthetic jet flow and used it as a validation of the numerical simulation. Five plasma synthetic jet actuators with different cavity volumes (128–512 mm3) and different discharge energy (2.8–11.3 mJ) were modeled numerically to investigate the energy transformation characteristic of PSJA. Results showed that plasma kernel radius and formation time could be theoretically predicted with specific deposition energy and correspond well with simulation results. The peak pressure and temperature rise in the cavity can also be calculated. Moreover, the proportion of kinetic energy increases linearly with non-dimensional deposition energy, while potential energy has a reverse tendency with non-dimensional cavity volume and deposition energy.
