Abstract

Hypersonic MHD air flow past a blunt body in the presence of an external magnetic field is considered. The MHD effect on the flow consists in a significant increase in the shock wave stand-off from the body surface and a significant reduction in the heat flux to the wall (up to 50%). It is shown that even in the presence of a strong Hall effect the intensity of the magnetohydrodynamic interaction in the plasma behind the shock wave remains at a high level commensurable with the ideal case of the absence of a Hall effect.
