等离子体气动激励控制激波的机理研究

针对等离子体气动激励控制激波的热效应机理和电离效应机理的争议,分别采用热阻塞模型和离子声波模型,理论推导出了不同机理前提下电弧等离子体对尖劈斜激波的影响规律.对于热效应机理,激波变化规律是激波起始点前移、形状不弯曲以及角度减小;对于电离效应机理,激波变化规律是激波起始点仍维持在尖劈前缘点处、形状分为两段发生弯曲以及起始段的角度增大.针对该对立的理论推导结果,进行了电弧等离子体控制尖劈斜激波的超声速风洞实验研究,实验观察到尖劈斜激波起始点前移4 mm,激波角度减小8.6%,激波形状未发生弯曲.以热效应机理为前提推导出的理论结果与该实验结果相符,从而验证了等离子体气动激励控制激波是热效应机理在起主要作用. 关键词： 等离子体气动激励 激波 热效应 电离效应     

边界层效应影响等离子体气动激励诱导激波机理

 针对小型暂冲式超声速风洞进行的诱导激波实验结果,提出等离子体气动激励诱导激波的机理不仅取决于放电时产生的焦耳热效应,放电区域的边界层厚度也起到了决定性的作用的推论。为进一步验证此思想,在高超声速激波风洞进行了等离子体气动激励诱导激波的实验研究。结果表明,在边界层很薄的情况下,等离子体气动激励能够诱导出斜激波。分别阐述了两种实验条件下诱导激波的机理,证实了边界层效应在等离子体与激波相互作用中起到了决定性作用。     

基于等离子体气动激励的斜劈诱导激波控制

基于弧光等离子体气动激励,采用不同的放电通道间距、放电通道数、放电直流输入电压、斜劈劈角、有无磁场作用等激励条件,实验研究了在超音速来流条件下(马赫数为2.2)斜激波位置、角度、强度的变化规律。结果表明:施加等离子体气动激励后,激波的起始位置平均前移1～8 mm,激波角平均减小4%～8%,激波强度平均减弱8%～26%。这主要是由于等离子体气动激励产生高温高压的表面等离子体层,使边界层分离点逆气流前移,改变了原有激波系结构,使原有的激波位置前移,激波角减小;同时由于局部的高温导致当地音速增大,使得当地马赫数减小,上述两个原因均可导致激波强度减弱。     

激波/边界层干扰对等离子体合成射流的响应特性

利用高速纹影系统和数值模拟方法研究了激波/边界层干扰对逆流喷射的等离子体合成射流的响应特性,并揭示了流动控制机理.实验在来流马赫数Ma=3.1的风洞中进行,测试模型采用钝头体和压缩斜坡的组合模型,等离子体合成射流激励器安装在钝头体头部.纹影系统捕捉了放电频率为f=1 kHz和f=3 kHz的激励对附体激波形态和分离激波运动的控制效果.等离子体合成射流使压缩斜坡激波/边界层干扰区域的起始点向下游移动,分离泡尺寸减小,附体激波强度减弱,发生弯曲,再附点移向上游,与此同时分离激波向附体激波逼近.与f=3 kHz激励相比,f=1 kHz激励的射流流量更大,对激波/边界层干扰的影响范围更广、控制效果更好.通过数值模拟,揭示了射流与来流相互作用对下游流场的作用机理:射流与来流相互作用诱导出大尺度旋涡,大尺度旋涡耗散发展增强了近壁面流场的湍流度;压缩斜坡上游近壁面的流场性质发生变化,进而导致了压缩斜坡激波/边界层干扰区域流动的变化.     

介质阻挡放电等离子体与激波相互作用实验研究

 主要针对介质阻挡放电等离子体改变激波系结构展开了实验研究。验证了介质阻挡放电等离子体气动激励能够对边界层施加影响,顺气流放电时能减小激波强度,逆气流放电时能增大激波强度。逆气流放电时,3组电极放电与4组电极放电比较,3组电极放电时压比更高。由于在该实验中放电区域比边界层小得多,介质阻挡放电产生的体积力远小于高速来流条件下的气动力,因此对激波的作用效果十分微弱。     

介质阻挡放电等离子体流动控制实验研究

The characteristics of surface arc plasma and its control effect on supersonic flow

The characteristic of surface arc plasma included millisecond and microsecond actuation in supersonic flow is investigated both experimentally and numerically. In the experiment, the discharge characteristic of surface arc plasma in quiescent air and supersonic flow is recorded. The stable oblique shock could be observed with millisecond actuation. And the unstable compressive wave could be also observed with microsecond actuation. In the numerical investigation, plasma actuation is defined as a source term with input power density from discharge V–I characteristic, which is expected to better describe the influence of heating process. The numerical results are coincident with experimental results. In order to confirm the capability of surface arc plasma actuation to control supersonic flow, experimental investigations on control shock induced by ramp and separation of boundary layer induced by impinging shock are performed. All the results demonstrate the control effect of surface arc plasma actuation onto supersonic flow.     

Inhomogeneity of currents in a wire array during its explodingphase

The current in a wire array during its exploding phase has been studied. The wire array consisting of many thin wires is used as a plasma source in a z-pinch X-ray radiation system. The current distribution in the exploding wire array plays an important role in producing an initial symmetrical plasma. In the present experiment, four tungsten wires of 0.1 mm in diameter were exploded in a vacuum. The experiment was carried out with an inductive voltage adder pulsed power generator providing a current of 160 kA at quarter period of 1.8 μs The currents through and the voltage across the wires were measured simultaneously. It was found that the currents in the wires were inhomogeneous, especially after the wires became plasma. Once the currents became inhomogeneous, the inhomogeneity remained throughout the discharge. It was also studied how the dimensions of the wires affected the homogeneity of the currents. Wires of different lengths or different cross sectional areas resulted in strong inhomogeneities of the currents. The wires with shorter length or smaller cross-sectional area became plasmas earlier than other wires. Thus, the resistances of the wires were not equal. These differences in the resistance caused the inhomogeneity of the currents     

Flow control with plasma-based actuator in different velocity regimes: Momentum and heat transfer effects

In this study, control of the airflow by the direct current (DC) electrical discharge with bare electrodes has been investigated in different velocity regimes. The discharge characteristics of the plasma model are obtained numerically. An induced electrohydrodynamic (EHD) force on neutral flow was characterized based on momentum transfer from charged particles. The change in the incident flow parameters was studied by applying Navier–Stokes (N-S) equations, considering source terms arising from a weakly ionized plasma. The effect of the discharge on the low- and high-speed flow was simulated in this study. It was concluded that the changes of the velocity profile, airflow pressure, and oblique shock wave could be attributed to the EHD force from a nonthermal plasma to the incoming airflow. It was seen that the incident airflow is accelerated also by the induced EHD force. Our results show that the most important mechanism in the plasma-based flow control is the momentum transfer from the electrical discharge to the incident flow and that the gas heating has no significant role.     

Plasma Blow-Off from Electrode Surfaces in the Presence of Vacuum-Ultraviolet Radiation

Experiments have been performed using a low-energy pulser (100 J electrical) to simulate the PITHON wire initiation process by exploding two stainless steel wires and thus providing a UV radiation source. The plasma boundary and density profie near the surface of a sample (electrode material) placed near the radiating wires was observed by taking both a shodowgraph and a hologram. The total energy radiated per wire ranged from 2.0 to 9.5 J/wire for peak currents of 13.5 and 25 kA/wire, respectively. The plasma density profile shows ne = 1.0 × 1018/cm3 near the surface of the sample and ne = 2 × 1016/cm3 near the plasma vacuum interface (plasma front). The final plasma front position has a linear dependence on the total incident energy density with the constant being 1.43 mm/(J/cm2), thus the average expansion velocity dependence on energy density is 1.02 cm/?s/ -J/cm2. Upon varying the sample material, the sample temperature, magnetic field, and the surface roughness, only the magnetic field and the rough electrode surface reduced the plasma front position by approximately a factor of two.     

等离子体激励器的静特性与高速特性仿真研究

A parametric study of high-frequency plasma jet actuator was carried out, using the experiment- tally measured energy distribution law of arc discharge as an ideal heat source. The influence of the exit angle of the actuator on the flow field was explored. The jet flow field characteristics of the spark discharge actuator under supersonic flow (Ma0=2.0) were investigated. The results show that the energy density of heat flux increases and the jet front and forward shock wave moves faster with the decrease of discharge region, and the smaller the exit angle of the jet is, the stronger the momentum injection ability of the actuator along the flow direction is. The rule still applies under high-speed air flow conditions. Compared to the static condition, the momentum injection capability of the jet is stronger and the influence domain is larger under supersonic flow conditions.

Experimental study on high-energy surface arc plasma excitation control of cylindrical detached shock wave

In this study, an electrical parameter test system and a high-speed Schlieren system are used to study the control of a cylindrical detached shock wave through high-energy surface arc plasma excitation. The results show that, when plasma excitation is not applied, the bow shockwave angle around the cylinder is 52°. After the plasma excitation is applied, the arc discharge releases a large amount of heat within a short time, generating a shockwave and a control gas bulb (CGB). As a result, the bow shockwave angle first decreases and then increases, the pressure ratio before and after the shockwave decreases, and the intensity of the bow shockwave weakens. At t = 280 μs, the bow shockwave angle is reduced to a minimum of 46°. The effective interference time of high-energy surface arc plasma excitation on a cylindrical detached shockwave is 820 μs. A high temperature is used to control the heating effect of the bubbles, which will increase the local sound velocity near the wall, reduce the local Mach number, cause the sound velocity to move online, and eventually push the bow shockwave away from the cylinder. Concurrently, heating will accelerate the gas flow, reduce the pressure, and cause the mass flow in the unit flow area of the heated area to decrease, resulting in a strong compression effect, which deforms the bow shockwave. The high-energy surface arc plasma excitation will provide a potential technical means for high-speed aircraft detached shockwave control.
