Abstract

The paper presents the universal gas-discharge system for surface discharge generation on a cylinder body providing PIV experiments and shadow studies. The system enables the flow visualization around cylinder, discharge power consumption measurements and of temperature fields on the cylindrical surface recording. Under surface discharge action on cylindrical surface in the quiescent air, the flow accompanied by the formation of a near-wall vortex structure and a set of the radially-oriented jets is visualized. The observed jets leave the thermal boundary layer and are able to influence to the gas areas located far away. The presented results indicate the effectiveness of the surface discharges use to control gas-dynamic, thermo-physical and mass transfer processes in the vicinity of streamlined bodies such as cylinders.
