Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma is used for various applications. DBD is also one of the most efficient and low-cost methods for active fluid flow control. In this study, a detailed physical model of DBD in atmospheric pressure at 1kV DC voltage is developed with COMSOL Multiphysics software. Argon gas is also used as a background gas and electrodes are assumed to be copper. Plasma parameters such as electron and ion density, electric field, potential, and temperature for different distances of electrodes (1.0mm, 0.9mm, 0.8mm) have been investigated. Moreover, the effect of dielectric type (Quartz, Silica Glass, Mica) on these key parameters is investigated. The results of the simulation show that the longitudinal distance of the buried electrodes to the exposed electrodes has a direct influence on parameters such as electron temperature, and electron and ion density which are the main factors of fluid flow control. These parameters have the maximum value when mica is used as a dielectric and the lowest value when silica glass is utilized.
