MAGNETIC FIELD EFFECTS ON BOW SHOCK STANDOFF DISTANCE,

Abstract

Combined theoretical and experimental investigations were carried out to find the effects of a magnetic field on the shock wave stand-off distance of an unyawed blunt body of revolution. Under the experimental conditions, the stand-off distance was found to increase with increasing field strength. The predicted behavior agreed quite well with the experimental findings.
