Abstract

Subsonic and supersonic air induction plasma flows in a VGU-4 100 kW plasmatron with segmented water-cooled cylindrical nozzle with the outlet cross-section 40 mm in diameter are investigated experimentally. The enthalpy on the axis of flow is measured in subsonic air jets. The heat fluxes are measured at the stagnation flow point on a cylindrical water-cooled model 50 mm in diameter located in subsonic air and nitrogen jets. The effect of the generator power, nozzle length, and pressure in the plasmatron pressure chamber on the distributions of the heat flux and the pressure at the stagnation point on the surface of cylindrical models 20 mm in diameter with a plane and hemispheric nose is investigated along the axis of underexpanded dissociated air jets.
