Abstract

An experimental investigation was made of the gasdynamic structure of the initial section of supersonic jets of a plasma of argon and helium with outflow into a rarefied medium from a source of the magnetoplasmodynamic type. A study is made of the dependence of the gasdynamic structure on the kind of gas, the pressure in the surrounding medium, the inductance of the external magnetic field, the stagnation enthalpy, the mass flow rate, and the means used for feeding the gas.
