Experimental And Theoretical Investigation Of The Weakly Ionized Non-Equilibrium Plasma Influence On A Flow Over Bodies Of Simple Forms
Abstract
This report results from a contract tasking TsAGI as follows: The contractor will investigate the effects of plasma discharge on aerodynamic bodies. He will perform experiments in the supersonic and subsonic wind tunnels at TsAGI. His proposed investigation will answer fundamental questions such as: 1) Nature of the observed behavior of shock waves in (or after) clouds of gas-discharge plasma; 2) The possible influence of gas-discharge plasma on aerodynamic characteristics of simple bodies; 3) Influence of gas molecules vibrational excitation on boundary layer flow properties. He will also perform numerical investigation using algorithms of non-stationary two- and threedimensional Euler equations and two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for vibrationally excited gas. Level-by-level kinetic model and appropriate turbulence model to account for turbulent transfer of excited components will also be developed. The technical approach is outlined in his proposal. Payment will be made upon receipt and acceptance of first preliminary report. Due no later than 4 months after contract award.
