Numerical investigation of potential flow-field modification techniques: drag reduction, control, and enhanced fuel-air mixing in hypersonic vehicles

Author

Trent M. Taylor

Abstract

"This work demonstrates drag reduction and control (development of lift and moments) achieved utilizing both energetics (localized energy/heat deposition) and electro-stataic force-fields. Results were obtained by studying the effects of flow-field modifications on shock waves and separated flow zones utilizing the two above techniques."--Abstract, page iii.
