Abstract

Ensuring stable and effective mixing and burning of gaseous fuel and oxidant in a supersonic flow within a chamber of appropriate dimensions is an important task in the creation of high-rate flow combustion systems. A promising means of intensive mixing of cocurrent jets is offered by the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) method [1], which is based on the initiation of pulsed electric discharge in the gas flow and the interaction of this discharge with an external magnetic field for the development of vorticity. Specific features of threedimensional (3D) evolution of the discharge under such conditions have been studied using quasi-3D modeling, which is, in addition to 2D modeling and physical experiments, an affective tool for investigation of the electric discharge-gas flow interaction in the applied magnetic field.
