Flow Settling over a Wedge at the MHD-Effect on a Hypersonic Air Flow

摘要

The flow over the wedge in the hypersonic flow at Mach number M= 6 and at the local magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) action on the flow ahead the wedge has been studied experimentally by the photographic method. It is shown that the flow reorganization realized during the one pass of the flow over the wedge surface. The time of the flow settling in the MHD-disturbed region less than 3 μs. Restructuring of the flow is induced by both thermal and force action on the flow at the local MHD-interaction supported by a pulse electrical discharge.
