Greeting,

I am currently working on a new computational model for DBD plasma actuators; therefore, I was dealing with Suzen and Huang's model to understand the basics and the previous models. I have a question, though.

In the main paper regarding the S&H model, it has been stated that experiments indicate that independent of which electrode the voltage is applied to, and independent of the polarity of the applied voltage, the resultant body force; therefore, the induced flow is in the direction towards the embedded electrode, acting as a cross-flow, thus non-useful force.

Could anyone explain why this is happening?

I know that to capture the useful body force, we need to separate the electric potentials so that in this way, we can build the body force perhaps more accurately. However, I can't figure out why this happens? Are the equations that we try to solve are not sufficient?

I would appreciate any pieces of clarification one may give.
