Abstract
An experimental investigation on the control effects of the high-frequency streamwise pulsed arc discharge array (HS-PADA) on the double compression ramp shock wave/boundary layer interaction (DCR-SWBLI) was carried out at Mach 2.0. Firstly, two types of ramp configurations were designed. The base flow field and actuation flow field were investigated. The actuation frequencies were 10 kHz and 20 kHz. Fast Fourier transform and root-mean-square methods were applied based on schlieren images. The base flow field indicated that the compression effect of ramps decreased with the lengthen of the first ramp. The results of actuation flow field showed that the 20 kHz actuation was superior to the 10 kHz actuation in weakening the shock wave intensity. The HS-PADA exhibited two types of control effects: modifying the shock structure, which was closely related to the separation zone, and modifying the low-frequency unsteadiness of the shock wave, which might not be related to the separation zone. The first separation shock wave, of which the high-frequency motion was more intense under actuation, may be more sensitive to HS-PADA than the second. Finally, the control mechanism of the HS-PADA on DCR-SWBLI was extracted.
