Abstract

Energy deposition is a robust technique for various high-speed flow control applications including drag reduction. A numerical study of energy deposition is performed for perfect gas flow approaching a blunt cylinder at Mach 3. The energy deposition is simulated by a high-temperature filament injected instantaneously in front of the cylinder. The effect of important dimensionless parameters is studied to characterize the drag modification. The results indicate a saturation effect on maximum drag reduction at higher magnitudes of energy deposition. The computations reveal that the discharge location of the filament does not significantly impact the drag. A phenomenological examination of the interaction is performed. The effectiveness and efficiency of the filament on drag reduction are investigated. A one-dimensional analytical approach is studied to describe the numerical results.
