The interaction between plasma jet of a capillary discharge and transverse supersonic air flow
Annotation
An experimental investigation is performed of modes of outflow into stationary air and of supersonic flow of a plasma jet developed by a capillary plasma generator. A theoretical model is suggested, which explains the obtained experimental results and enables one to simulate the process of injection of plasma jet into a supersonic air flow. The possibility is demonstrated of using such jets for the ignition of supersonic flows of combustible mixture.
