Plasma-dynamic discharges in transverse supersonic air flows
Annotation
An experimental investigation is performed of modes of outflow into stationary air and of supersonic flow of a plasma jet developed by an impulse plasma generator using a plasma-dynamic discharge of magnetoplasma compressor at low values of energy deposition. A theoretical model is suggested which enables one to scale the experimental results to the injection of plasma jet into a flow of large cross section. The possibility is demonstrated of using such jets for bulk ignition of supersonic flows of combustible mixture.
