Claim 41:
42. A wind turbine comprising:
a plurality of turbine blades;
a base configured to support the turbine blades, wherein each of the plurality of turbine blades is configured to rotate relative to the base as a fluid flows across the plurality of turbine blades; and
a fluid control system positioned on at least one of the turbine blades, the fluid control system comprising:
a dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) device; and
processing circuitry configured to:
obtain a streamwise length scale of at least one flow regime of the fluid;
obtain a convective time scale of the at least one flow regime of the fluid; and
operate the DBD device, based on the streamwise length scale and the convective time scale, to provide momentum in a spanwise direction to adjust a flow property of the fluid.
