Supersonic flow about a body exposed to electric and magnetic fields

The feasibility of using nonmechanical (electrogasdynamic, EGD, and magnetohydrodynamic, MHD) methods to control shock-wave configurations emerging in supersonic flows is investigated. In the EGD method, the flow is heated by a gas discharge; in the MHD one, the flow is influenced by a Lorentz force arising in a gas discharge upon applying a magnetic field. The influence of the gas discharge and MHD interaction on the position of a detached shock wave appearing in a supersonic xenon flow about a semicylindrical body is studied. A discharge is initiated in the immediate vicinity of the leading edge of the body, and the variation of the shock wave position with the intensity of the discharge (discharge current density) is traced when the influence of the EGD action increases and/or an external magnetic field is applied (the influence of the MHD action increases). Preliminary data for a supersonic air flow about a body are presented.     

On the Global Existence and Stability of a Multi-Dimensional Supersonic Conic Shock Wave

We establish the global existence and stability of a three-dimensional supersonic conic shock wave for a compactly perturbed steady supersonic flow past an infinitely long circular cone with a sharp angle. The flow is described by a 3-D steady potential equation, which is multi-dimensional, quasilinear, and hyperbolic with respect to the supersonic direction. Making use of the geometric properties of the pointed shock surface together with the Rankine–Hugoniot conditions on the conic shock surface and the boundary condition on the surface of the cone, we obtain a global uniform weighted energy estimate for the nonlinear problem by finding an appropriate multiplier and establishing a new Hardy-type inequality on the shock surface. Based on this, we prove that a multi-dimensional conic shock attached to the vertex of the cone exists globally when the Mach number of the incoming supersonic flow is sufficiently large. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of the 3-D supersonic conic shock solution, which is shown to approach the corresponding background shock solution in the downstream domain for the uniform supersonic constant flow past the sharp cone, is also explicitly given.     

平面定常超音速绕流问题的新的数值解法

用特征线法解平面定常超音速绕流问题虽然有效,但当激波很弱、几乎与特征线平行时则很难处理。用有限差分法计算此问题也比较复杂。本文把作者在文章中^[1]提出的新的数值解法,发展并应用到平面定常超音速绕流的问题。仍然采用了许为厚教授提出的新拉格朗日变量^[2],这使边界条件的提法大为简化。此新的数值解法按变量指标之和,一排排地往下计算,方法简单,可以处理各种形状物体的超音速绕流。本文对向上弯曲的抛物形固壁绕流向题的实例进行了具体计算。算出了激波的形状。当激波没有形成以前,相应的普朗特一迈耶气流是有准确分析解的,把数值解与准确解进行了l比较结果是满意的。

超燃冲压发动机推进性能理论分析

超燃冲压发动机的正推力问题和超声速燃烧的稳定性问题是制约超燃冲压发动机发展的两个关键气动物理问题.虽然经过50多年的研究,但是目前国内外对这两个关键问题的机理还没有研究清楚.文章首次将CJ爆轰理论应用于超燃冲压发动机推进性能分析,给出了这两个关键气动问题的理论分析结果.分析结果表明,燃烧室入口空气静温对发动机的推进性能产生重要影响.当爆轰波的爆速大于隔离段内空气来流的速度时,会向隔离段上游传播,导致发动机不起动.飞行Mach数Ma=6~8是超燃发动机的临界不稳定范围,飞行Mach数Ma>9,超声速燃烧将变得稳定.

Analysis of the Evolution of a Supersonically Expanding Plasma

A supersonically expanding arc plasma in argon is analyzed both experimentally and theoretically. The plasma is created in a cascaded arc and extracted through a hole in the anode. It emanates in a large vacuum system, where it expands supersonically. This expansion is limited by a shock wave. After the shock wave a subsonic plasma beam is created. A quasi one-dimensional model, based on the conservation of mass, momentum and energy is presented. The shock wave is treated as a discontinuity. The electron density, the gas velocity and the gas temperature are measured as a function of the position in the expansion by means of Stark broadening and Doppler spectroscopy. The model calculations agree well with the measurements, especially in the first part of the supersonic flow.     

Application of the gradient heat flux sensor to study pulsed processes in a shock tube

The surface temperature of a model body of revolution placed in a pulsed supersonic nitrogen flow is measured with the help of a gradient heat flux sensor. From the measured temperature, a heat flux toward the surface of the body is determined. The steady flow of a viscous transcalent gas about the body is numerically calculated. The results of the numerical calculation and measuring data are in good agreement.

Supersonic CO2 laser excited by RF discharge in closed cycle

A supersonic gas flow having a Mach number of 2 has been realized in a closed-cycle radio-frequency (RF)-discharge-excited supersonic CO₂ laser system. Stable RF discharge at a high CO₂ gas concentration has become possible using supersonic gas flow and RF discharge generated between dielectric electrodes. As a result, high RF input power density has been obtained. In addition, a high small-signal gain has been obtained in the supersonic section through decreases in gas pressure and gas temperature due to supersonic gas flow.This revised version was published online in August 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Dynamic characteristics of gas jets from subsonic and supersonic nozzles for high pressure gas laser cutting

During laser cutting of stainless steels, titanium and aluminum alloys, a coaxial and high pressure inert gas jet is used to improve the cut edge quality. The process normally consumes a large amount of inert gas and has a poor tolerance to variation in process parameters. This is solely because the gas nozzles are mostly of the conical and convergent type in which the gas jets are subsonic. Based on two dimensional steady state gas dynamic theory, computer simulation and shadowgraphic techniques, the gas jet patterns from conical nozzles and the newly designed supersonic nozzles are analyzed. The distribution of pressure, momentum, gas density and existence of shock waves are predicted and mapped. Based on these characteristics, the effect of the gas jets upon the cut quality is explained. It is concluded that a supersonic gas jet offers the best flow characteristics for high pressure laser cutting.     

On the possibility of controlling transonic profile flow with energy deposition by means of a plasma-sheet nanosecond discharge

A way of effectively affecting the gasdynamic structures of a transonic flow over a surface by means of instantaneous local directed energy deposition into a near-surface layer is proposed. Experimental investigations into the influence of a pulsed high-current nanosecond surface discharge of the “plasma sheet” type on gas fast flow with a shock wave near the surface are carried out. The self-localization of energy deposition into a low-pressure region in front of the shock wave is described. Based on this effect, a facility for automated energy deposition into a dynamic region bounded by the moving shock front can be designed. The limiting value of the specific energy deposition on the surface in front of the shock wave is found. With the help of the direct-shadow method, an unsteady quasi-two-dimensional discontinuous flow arising when a plasma sheet is initiated on the wall in a flow with a plane shock wave is studied. By numerically solving the two-dimensional nonstationary equations of gas dynamics, the influence of the energy of a pulsed nanosecond discharge, which is applied in the frequency regime, on the aerodynamic characteristics of a high-lift profile is investigated. It is ascertained that the energy delivered to the gas before the closing shock wave in a local supersonic region that is located in the neighborhood of the profile contour in zones extended along the profile considerably decreases the wave drag of the profile.     

Recombination in steady supersonic flow in devices for laser isotope separation

We examine the kinetics of recombination in a weakly ionized, dilute, monatomic gas which is adiabatically expanding into vacuum. The hydrodynamic equations are solved exactly assuming; steady supersonic flow, maximal symmetry (isotropy), no heat conduction and no heating of the gas by the released recombination energy. This is applied to a problem which arises in the context of laser isotope separation.     

Supersonic flow of a nonequilibrium gas-discharge plasma around a body

The flow of a nonequilibrium gas-discharge plasma around a semicylindrical body is studied. The aim of the study is to see how a change in the degree of nonequilibrium of the incoming plasma changes the separation distance between a shock wave and the body. Experiments are carried out with a supersonic nozzle into which a semicylindrical body is placed. The inlet of the nozzle is connected to a shock tube. In the course of the experiment, electrodes built into the wall of the nozzle initiate a gas discharge in front of the body to produce an additional nonequilibrium ionization in the stationary incoming supersonic flow. The discharge parameters are selected such that the discharge raises the electron temperature and still minimizes heating of the gas. The degree of nonequilibrium of the flow varies with gas-discharge current. Diagnostics of the flow is carried out with a schlieren system based on a semiconductor laser. The system can record flow patterns at definite time instants after discharge initiation.     

Higher Order KFVS Algorithms Using Compact Upwind Difference Operators

A family of high order accurate compact upwind difference operators have been used, together with the split fluxes of the KFVS (kinetic flux vector splitting) scheme to obtain high order semidiscretizations of the 2D Euler equations of inviscid gas dynamics in general coordinates. A TVD multistage Runge–Kutta time stepping scheme is used to compute steady states for selected transonic/supersonic flow problems which indicate the higher accuracy and low diffusion realizable in such schemes.

Interfacial friction and mass transfer at gas flow into vacuum through a nozzle with a near-wall liquid film

The cycle of experiments on interaction between the co-current gas flow and the near-wall liquid film were carried out at high gas flow velocities, including the supersonic ones. The local parameters of the near-wall film were measured by the capacitance probes. It is shown that the co-current gas flow affects the near-wall film significantly, causing intensive wave formation, droplet detachment from the film surface, and their entrainment by the gas flow. It is determined that a relative amount of liquid entrained by the co-current flow is generalized by the Weber number of this gas flow.
