Abstract
A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stand based on a shock tube is described. A distinctive feature of this apparatus is the presence of a system for generating a magnetic field with an induction of up to 2.5 T and devices for ionization of the flow (electron gun, current generators), which makes it possible to solve a wide range of problems in magnetoplasma aerodynamics. The design features of the MHD test bench make it possible to simulate the MHD effect on the flow structure during flow around the investigated bodies under conditions of high-speed flight in the Earth’s atmosphere at the flow Mach numbers M = 6–12. The main experimental techniques used at the stand are considered. Examples of the results of the study of MHD effects obtained with this setup are presented.
