Abstract

Nanosecond DBD discharge and pulsed-DC arc discharge have been widely investigated for the potential application on aerodynamic performance improvement. However, the discharge in different forms, the gas heating mechanism and the effect is different. The characteristic and mechanism of oblique shock contral in supersonic flow remain unsolved. Through time-resolved schlieren method, the characteristic of the nanosecond DBD discharge and pulsed-DC arc discharge aerodynamic actuation is studied. Images presented here show that both the DBD discharge and pulsed-DC arc discharge can generate shock wave, which was induced by rapid gas heating. The velocity of pulsed-DC arc discharge moves more quickly than the DBD discharge at the beginning of discharge, and then decreases to 340m/s, and becomes stable, which means the shockwave has turned weaker and transmitted sonically. Based on the discharge characteristic, shockwave control experiment and comparison of contral effective on the wind tunnel bottom has been made between the nanosecond DBD discharge and pulsed-DC arc discharge. It is shown that with pulsed-DC arc discharge, the control is more effective.
