摘要
A wind-tunnel model in the shape of a 30degrees half-angle truncated-cone is designed to generate a strong bow shock behind a weak conical (oblique) shock wave attached to the tip of a protruding central-electrode, in a non-ionized supersonic flow. Plasma is generated between two shocks by an on-board discharge. Its effect on shock waves is explored. The results show that the plasma spike has drastically modified the original complicated shock structure to a simple structure having only a single conical shock attached to the tip of the model, similar to the one generated by a perfect cone.
