DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe capability for localized flow control in high speed flows using laser energy deposition has been investigated in a collaborative computational and experimental program. Three proposed applications have been comprehensively studied. First, two models of laser energy deposition in air have been developed and validated by comparison with experiment. The first model is an engineering approach wherein the laser energy deposition is treated as an energy release in a perfect gas. The second model is a detailed physical approach which incorporates real gas chemistry with an eleven species model of air. Comparison with experimental measurements of static temperature, density and velocity (one-component) show good agreement with both models outside the plasma region. Second, a detailed 3-D simulation of laser energy deposition upstream of intersecting shocks at Mach 3.45 demonstrated the capability to force transition from Mach Reflection (MR) to Regular Reflection (RR) in the Dual Solution Domain. This result is particularly important for control of MR to RR transition in high speed inlets for scramjet-powered air vehicles. A companion experimental study showed a momentary reduction in the Mach stem height by 70%, but a Mach Reflection was recovered apparently due to freestream turbulence. Third, detailed 3-D simulations of laser energy deposition upstream of an isolated sphere and an Edney IV interaction at Mach 3.45 were performed. Results show the fundamental features observed in the accompanying experiments.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEnergy deposition is a robust technique for various high speed flow control applications including drag reduction. A numerical study is performed for perfect gas flow approaching a blunt cylinder at Mach 3. The energy deposition is simulated by a high temperature filament injected in front of the cylinder. The effect of important dimensionless parameters is studied to characterize the drag modification. The results indicate a saturation effect on maximum drag reduction at higher magnitudes of energy deposition. The computations reveal that the discharge location of the filament does not significantly impact the drag. A phenomenological examination of the interaction is performed. The effectiveness and efficiency of the filament on drag reduction are investigated. A one-dimensional analytical approach is studied to describe the numerical results.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWritten by a leading expert in the field, this book presents a novel method for controlling high-speed flows past aerodynamic shapes using energy deposition via direct current (DC), laser or microwave discharge, and describes selected applications in supersonic and hypersonic flows. Emphasizing a deductive approach, the fundamental physical principles provided give an understanding of the simplified mathematical models derived therefrom. These features, along with an extensive set of 55 simulations, make the book an invaluable reference that will be of interest to researchers and graduate students working in aerospace engineering and in plasma physics.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA series of experiments with energy deposition via laser-induced optical breakdown of air, i.e., a laser spark, have been performed. These experiments have demonstrated the possibility of using a laser spark for supersonic flow control. A focused Nd:YAG laser (pulse time of 10 nanoseconds, pulse frequency of 10 Hz, and capable of energy levels up to 600 milli-Joules per pulse) was used to create the energy deposition laser spark. This laser energy deposition was then tested in quiescent air, upstream of a Mach 3.45 sphere with and without shock impingement, into shock structures within the dual solution domain, and into a compressible shear layer.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAchievement of the future US Air Force mission requires development of new high speed air vehicles. The aerodynamic performance of high speed air vehicles is sensitive to local flow phenomena which may adversely affect vehicle operation and possibly result in vehicle loss. An example is the Edney W shock-shock interaction which causes intense local surface heat transfer. New concepts in local flow control for high speed flows are needed to alleviate or eliminate adverse local flow phenomena. * Recently, a promising new research field in local flow control for high speed flows has emerged - Electromagnetic Local Flow Control (ELFC). Examples include beamed energy addition (e.g, laser and/or microwave energy deposition) and DC discharge, with or without external magnetic fields. Recent conferences and workshops have emphasized the importance of ELFC and identified many promising opportunities. This report describes the research accomplishments of Rutgers - The State University of New Jersey, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Minnesota in understanding the fundamental physics and practical applications of Electromagnetic Local Flow Control in high speed flows.
