Modification of Aerodynamic Surfaces Using Plasma

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) as follows: The contractor will accomplish the following: (1) develop and manufacture a compact plasma generator; (2) manufacture various geometric shaped wind tunnel models; (3) investigate the propagation of electric fields and discharges over the models; (4) conduct aerodynamic wind tunnel testing; (5) investigate the effect of the plasma on aerodynamic performance and assess sensitivities to plasma discharge parameters; (6) Experimental optimization of the plasma boundary layer; (7) Theoretical analysis of the gas discharge and aerodynamic interaction and the effect on drag and heat transfer
