The Biefeld-Brown effect, named after its discoverers in 1920s, stands for the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) force applied on two high voltage electrodes in air. The origin of this force has been subject to controverse, but it is establised that it relies on the acceleration of ionized air by a strong electric field. Numerous applications are associated with ionic wind : active flow control, heat transfer enhancement, food drying or even propulsion. At the first glance, the low efficiency is unattractive for propulsion. However recent experiments highlighted a surprisingly high thrust/power ratio. This PhD research aimed to better understand the phenomena, through experiments and theoretical or numerical analysis. First, an experimental study w...
