Ye; I cant find the paper.
But he does say in the comments:
"Here's the range of the variables.
Voltage - 7.4 kV - 12.8 kV
Frequency - 20 kHz - 90 kHz
Current - 0 - 0.6 mA.."
That's 7.68 Watts.
Not much at all and way less than you lose to wind resistance IMHO..?
"...Compared voltage magnitudes & frequencies with flow velocities & observed maximum airflow of 9000 litres / hr ..."

That's 2.5 l/s.
Not much, but I NB that the efficiency of these things increases dramatically with the initial air
At the airspeeds in an intake tract I'm guessing about 50% efficient.
This is what the intake from the air filter box into the manifold, or from manifold into intake track, should look like:

There it's easy to see where one would want to start putting DBD.
So you would get more flow along the intake walls AND there would be already be some momentum in the desired direction when the intake valve opened.
Something a turbo doesn't do...
But most importantly the DBD would ALSO be producing ionized air and Ozone which, at the right doses, does very good things for combustion if you read the studies.
The system would do double duty..!
Also O3 is more compact, so more Oxygen in the cylinder.
