Validation of Plasma Injection for Hypersonic Blunt-Body Drag Reduction
Abstract
The optimum blend of numerical and physical fluid experiment for risk and cost reduction is an actual reflection of the stage of maturation for individual technology development. As an illustration, the detailed validation of drag reduction technique using plasma injection was investigated using a side-by-side experimental and computational approach. The major portion of the reduced drag is found from the favorable counter-flow jet shock interaction and thermal deposition.
