Aerodymamic performance of NACA0012 airfoil is enhanced with suppression of boundary layer separation due to operation of DBD plasma actuator at low Reynolds numbers. We carried out flow field measurements using hot-wire anemometer around the airfoil which applied to the actuator to investigate relationship between aerodynamics and flow field around the airfoil at Reymolds number of 10,000. Results of velocity profiles of the boundary layer show suppression of laminar separation on the airfoil at lower angle of attack. At higher angle of attack, separated boundary layer on the airfoil is reattached on the surface by large velocity. fluctuations accompanied with shedding vortex by the actuator operation. These changes of the flow field due to the actuator contribute to enhance the lift coefncient of the airfoil.
