Shock observations in a continuous supersonic plasma wind tunnel

Наблюдение ударных в олн в аэродинамическ ой трубе с непрерывно й сверхзвуковой плазмой

Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

A description is presented of aQ-device modified into a magnetic de Laval nozzle. A comparison is given between experimental results on a supersonic plasma flow striking a material object and a simple adiabatic theory. Suggestions are added for improvements of the experimental set-up.

Riassunto

Si presenta la descrizione di una macchinaQ modificata in un ugello magnetico di de Laval. I risultati sperimentali derivanti dall’interazione di un plasma supersonico con un ostacolo materiale sono confrontati con una semplice teoria adiabatica. Si forniscono inoltre alcuni suggerimenti per possibili miglioramenti dell’apparato sperimentale.

Резюме

Предлагается описан иеQ-устройства, модиф ицированного в магни тное сопло Лаваля. Проводи тся сравнение экспер иментальных резулст атов для потока сверхзвуковой плазм ы, ударяющегося в мате риальный объект, с про стой адиабатической теор ией. Вносятся предлож ения для улучшения эк спериментальной установки.
