Abstract
Compression corner shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) is a typical shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) problem in supersonic/hypersonic flows. In previous studies, the separation flow is usually caused by a single shock wave. However, in the actual aircraft surface configuration, two-stage compression or even multistage compression will produce more complex SWBLI problems. The multi-channel shock structure makes the flow field structure more complicated and also puts forward higher requirements for the flow control scheme. In order to explore a flow control method for the double compression corner shock wave/boundary layer interaction problem, an experimental study is carried out to control the double compression corner shock wave/boundary layer interaction with a high-energy flow pulsed arc discharge array under the condition that the incoming flow velocity Ma 6.0 has both noise flow fields and quiet flow fields. The results show that when UDC = 0.5 kV actuation is applied, the influence range of the hot gas mass flow direction is about 65 mm, which can weaken the shock wave intensity to a certain extent. When UDC = 1 kV actuation is applied, the influence range of the hot gas mass flow direction extends to 85 mm, and the actuation has a significant control effect on the flow field. Through spatio-temporal evolution analysis and spatial gradient threshold processing of high-speed schlieren images of actuated flow fields, the feasibility of controlling the hypersonic double compression corner shock wave/boundary layer interaction by using a high-energy flow pulsed arc discharge array is verified. The control law of a high-energy flow pulsed arc discharge array acting on the double compression corner shock wave/boundary layer interaction is revealed.
