Abstract
Reduced order models that can capture and predict general flow characteristics are essential for closed-loop flow control around aerodynamic bodies. This research tests Galerkin based reduced order models using proper orthogonal decomposition modes derived experimentally to predict the flow over a NACA-0015 airfoil. Each of the models is tested on the airfoil at incident angles ranging from α=20° to α=10° for the baseline flow and a flow forced at 1250 Hz by nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators. It was found that both reduced order models were most successful in using 8 ≤n≤12 POD modes for their calculations.
