Abstract
A decelerated flow in a supersonic boundary layer containing a heat source modeling an electric discharge is studied numerically. Calculations are performed for a wide range of the source power. The possibility of controlling the boundary layer separation is demonstrated. The boundary layer separation on cooled walls is found to occur substantially later than on thermally insulated walls.
