Abstract

The influence of the plasma synthetic jet on the drag reduction characteristics of the blunt body model in high-speed complex flow fields is investigated experimentally and numerically. The dynamic axial force measurement test of the blunt body with a plasma synthetic jet actuator is carried out in Mach number 8 flow field. The mechanism of penetration model on drag reduction of the blunt body by the plasma synthetic jet is studied. A numerical simulation method suitable for the coupling of plasma active actuation and high-speed flow is established. The wind tunnel test results show that the plasma synthetic jet reduces the drag of the blunt body model by 2.51 N. The numerical simulation results show that the plasma synthetic jet reduces the drag of the blunt body model by 2.03 N, and the relative experimental error of drag reduction is 19.1%.
