Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue “Energy Deposition for Aerospace Applications” is devoted to investigations in the field of numerous aerospace applications using different types of energy or accompanied by the energy release. This Special Issue focuses on the experimental and numerical investigation of the following topics (but are not limited to): the energy of high-speed flight; supersonic/hypersonic flow control using energy deposition; high-energy facilities, including the use of laser, microwave and electric discharge plasma; energy transformation processes, including the processes in media characterized by chemical reactions; fast high-energy processes and explosions; properties and dynamics of plasma regions initiated by energy deposition; high-speed/high-energy processes in nozzles, jets, shock tubes, and combustion chambers; energy transformation in boundary layers and turbulent spots; energy of shock–vortex processes, heat transfer and gas dynamic instabilities.

The problems under consideration are characterized by the significant compressibility of the gas medium, the presence of shock waves and shock–vortex structures and gas dynamic instabilities, as well as multiscale processes. Therefore, the problems of qualitative modeling come to the fore. In this connection, topics such as modern high-quality computational CFD methods, high fidelity difference scheme construction, and code testing are also included in the scope of the topics of this Special Issue.

A new method of high-speed flow control using permanently operating thermally stratified energy deposition is presented. The paper focuses on the analysis of the dependence of the characteristics of a steady supersonic flow and an aerodynamic (AD) body on the temperature values in the layers of a stratified source and the possibility of making the transition from one steady flow mode to another by changing the temperature in the layers. A detailed visualization of the dynamics of the fields of density, pressure, temperature, and local Mach number is presented during the controlled establishment of steady flow modes. Multiple generation of the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability is shown. The sharp peaks accompanying the development of the Richtmyer–Meshkov instabilities were obtained, which remain in the steady flow mode established under the action of a stratified energy source. Basic approaches for controlling the bow shock wave, drag and lift (pitch) forces (at zero angle of attack), and the stability in a steady supersonic flow past an AD body using permanently operating thermally stratified energy source were developed. The possibility of initiating and damping self-sustained flow pulsations as well as the formation of a steady flow with oppositely directed constantly acting lift forces due to temperature changes in the layers of a thermally stratified energy source is shown.

This work focuses on detailed descriptions of DC discharge properties in supersonic airflow and its applicability in combustion simulations. Due to the complexity of obtaining most of the data in the experiment, our experimental research was supplemented by a numerical simulation. Two packages, i.e., FlowVision (fast commercial CFD for 3D engineering) and Plasmaero (2D scientific code developed in JIHT RAS for MHD tasks), were used for modeling the arc DC discharge in a supersonic flow at Mach (M) = 2. Both will be considered for further use in plasma-assisted combustion modeling, so it is important to validate both codes using experimental data from the model configuration with discharge. Axisymmetric geometries of experiments with two coaxial electrodes located parallel to the flow were chosen to avoid the appearance of the current channel part perpendicular to the flow and the corresponding discharge pulsations. Such geometries allow performing numerical simulations in 2D formulation, making it possible to compare the results obtained in the experiments and calculations. As a result of this work, two-dimensional distributions involving temperature, current density, chemical composition, and other discharge and flow parameters were obtained for arc DC discharges 0.5–7 A in a supersonic flow (Pst = 22 kPa, T = 170 K, V~500 m/s). Good qualitative agreement between experimental and numerical results was achieved. The production of a significant amount of atomic oxygen, which accelerates combustion, was noted. Full article

This review examines studies aimed at the organization of energy (non-mechanical) control of high-speed flow/flight using spatially multi-component plasma structures and combined energy deposition. The review covers selected works on the experimental acquisition and numerical modeling of multi-component plasma structures and the use of sets of actuators based on plasma of such a spatial type for the purposes of control of shock wave/bow shock wave–energy source interaction, as well as control of shock wave–boundary layer interaction. A series of works on repetitive multiple laser pulse plasma structures is also analyzed from the point of view of examining shock wave/bow shock wave–boundary layer interaction. Self-sustained theoretical models for laser dual-pulse, multi-mode laser pulses, and self-sustained glow discharge are also considered. Separate sections are devoted to high-speed flow control using combined physical phenomena and numerical prediction of flow control possibilities using thermal longitudinally layered plasma structures. The wide possibilities for organization and applying spatially multi-component structured plasma for the purposes of high-speed flow control are demonstrated. Full article
